Jim also enjoyed gardening, fishing, bonfires and going to Rubber Ducky Resort every summer. He also got to experience an NFL game in Minneapolis and see his favourite team, the Minnesota Viking’s win.
Jim and Dale went on a trip to Hawaii and then to Australia to see his cousins. He enjoyed many trips, going to the states to the Shooting Star with Dale, her sisters and their husbands. After living in Teulon for 20 years, they moved to Selkirk.

Condolences to the family.
Jim will be sadly missed by all who met him and was touched by him.
I am so honoured to have known him and had him part of our family.
God bless to the family and know your husband, father and Grandfather will always be with you.
WOW !!! What can I say . . . I`ve know Jim for over 50 years. He was quite the observer around family and friends and asked questions later. Jim was helpful with our family when it came to heating and cooling issues. He was well-liked by the Jones family ( his in-laws ) and his passing caught us by surprise. You will be missed Jim. Give Mom and Dad, Lori. Marcel and Jeffrey a big hug from me.
” FOREVER REMEMBERED “
Our condolences to Dale & family. We enjoyed their company and help when we were neighbors in Komarno. Wayne & Donna
