Anyone who knew Jim, knows that he lived a full life.
He forged lifelong friendships with fellow ranchers and cowboys, hockey players (1949/50 BC Championship Hockey Team), golfers and skiers (Sun Peaks Antiques).
Jim came from a well-known ranching family (Seven-0 Ranch) and he and his brother, Bill, were inducted into the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame (2009). Jim made friends with everyone who's path he crossed along the way and earned the nickname "Jimmy Walking Eagle." Well, now is the time for Jim to stop walking / riding and to soar like an eagle.
