Jim left this world the same way he entered it, peacefully and quietly. He was born in Kamloops (third generation) and passed away in Kamloops.
He was a quiet and kind man. He loved Kamloops, especially the lakes and forests where he hunted and fished to his heart's content. He met Bea and they were married in May 1963. Together they lived a wonderful life surrounded by friends and family. He was generous and was the hardest working man in Kamloops, starting a lifelong career in car painting at Syd Smith's Autobody. His attention to detail was apparent in the many custom paint jobs he conducted.
