Death notice for the town of: Arnprior, Province: Ontario
My deepest sympathy Joanne to you and your family. I had the great pleasure of working with Jim at CFB Edmonton and CFBTrenton. I will always remember our many drives together from Ottawa To Trenton.
I knew Jim very well, having first met him when he was a Master Corporal working at CFB Edmonton, and I was posted to Calgary as a Lieutenant. Our paths crossed so often throughout our careers it’s hard to imagine his passing. A fine gentleman and a great friend. He will be sorely missed. My most sincere condolences to the family.
