Eileen and I first met Jim at a Britnell family function in Toronto . My mother , Blanche, was a younger sister to Jim’s Dad.
We visited him in September 2018 in Goderich and he pointed out the sights as well as the family residence as we drove around town. It was a good day.
Please accept our sincere condolences.
I have great memories of Jim and I working together at OGRA. He was a most patient teacher,
With sincere condolences,
