Thank you Cynthia for calling us in Newfoundland about our dear Uncle Jim. Over the years Uncle Jim and I always made the effort to keep in touch whether it was by phone calls or by mail. A true gentleman. Sending all our love from Sandra, Yves and family.

Dear Cynthia
We’re saddened to hear of the passing of your Dad. I only met him a couple of times when I was groing up in Montreal East. Even at my young age he impressed me as a quiet stoic man. Celabrate his life.
Take care.
