My deepest sympathy to all of you. So many of my most favorite childhood memories are with your family. I adored my Uncle Jim & Aunt Ev. Christmases were the best! Loved riding our bikes to your house when we were in Scarborough -even though we got in trouble when we got home! Loved visiting in Flemington Park and going swimming. So many special & meaningful memories with your family. ...and in recent years when we all reconnected at our annual family Christmas gatherings. Will miss you Uncle Jim, you will always be in my Heart - your sense of humor was delightful and I loved your artistic talent. May you all find comfort in the wonderful memories you had with him.
