    Jim was a big part of our Monday Morning Cafe at Meaford Food Bank and Outreach. He loved entertaining everyone with his keyboard and occasionally he would sing for us. Definitely a true gentleman and friend. Condolences to all his family.

    I always enjoyed my conversations with Jim at McGinty’s and at community events. He donated his musical talents to the walking club, the Community Cafe and Community meals. Jim will be missed.

    Jim was wonderful. He had a heart of gold and donated his time to many good causes such as various senior homes events, and the community cafe on Monday mornings. He was an ‘idea’ man, full of innovate and ingenious ideas. Rest in peace Jim.

    So Sorry to the family for your loss. Jim and I spoke several times a week for years, and had thousands of coffees together, and he always made me laugh. His music was his passion and everyone enjoyed it….he had a magnetic personality and entertained so well. Will miss you JIMMY, everyday forever.
