Dear Linda and Donald,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your father. I was hired in 1984 as a research chemist for ERCO and had the pleasure of working with your father for several years prior to his retirement. I will remember him as a kind, smart and hard-working individual.
Sincerely,
George Ranger

Jim and Ron worked together for many years. One of the most memorable was when we ran the R3 pilot plant at Thurso Quebec. Jim was a wonderful man who was an inspiration to all who worked with him. He was a regular attendee at the Erco lunches.
He will be missed.

Donald and Linda,
I am sorry to see that your father died last month. I have great memories of meeting Jim and Val in the 70's and sharing discoveries in our shared family tree. I visited them in Mississauga and they visited me in Kanata. I have letters from Val as she passed on new discoveries. I am sorry we did not keep in touch.
