Dear Elaine, my absolute condolences to you and your family, may you have some comfort at this time of grief, reflection & celebration of a gentleman's life lived.
It is with much privilege that I held a special friendship with your dad into five decades.
Time spent in his warm & generous company, his stimulating conversation and sage words of wisdom are gifts that will remain close to my heart, that I will cherish always.
Peace to you Jim, au revoir mon cher ami.

Jim was always an inspirational gentleman. When I think about class and kindness Jim's face will always appear in my mind. I couldn't be happier for Jim, he will finally join his beloved wife. Our heart felt sorrow goes out to Elaine and family for such a huge loss. You all are in our thoughts. God Bless

Ma très chère Elaine,
Ton vieil oncle Clément et ta chère tante Jeannette ainsi que David et Julie voudraient te dire combien nos pensées et notre tendresse sont avec toi en cette période inhabituelle.
Que de bons souvenirs , nous ramènent dans le passé mais toujours présents. Ses visites à mon chalet à Blue Sea Lake en 1969 ainsi qu'à Nominingue en 1993 furent des visites inoubliables....sans oublier les autres chez ton grand-père et mère à Arvida.
Il est malheurex, que nous devions tous passer par cette étape de la vie. Heureusement, tous ses bons souvenirs, nous permettent à tous, d'accepter l'inévitable ....
Sommes donc avec vous Elaine , Phil et votre belle famille..
Chaleureusement, votre oncle et tante Clément et Jeannette et sa famille Julie et David.
