Tribute

Jim was born and raised in Wildwood, where he lived his entire life. Growing up he was an active participant in many sports such as hunting, fishing and baseball. Jim was proud of being a long-standing member of the Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department. Being a private pilot, he had a passion for flying and enjoyed the camaraderie at the Westview Flying Club in his early years. Boating was a favorite hobby for Jim and Sharon for almost four decades. Their countless trips with Oak Bay Marine Group to the Queen Charlotte Islands were highlights of those journeys, where Jim could be heard saying, “tight lines!”

Outings in Destiny to the group cabin in Atwood Bay meant for great memories because it was always four o’clock somewhere. Jim and Sharon felt very fortunate and blessed with the many adventurous travels they were able to take together.

After a life well lived, Jim passed away at home in Wildwood with Sharon and Haley by his side. Mom’s birthday is on the 29th, give her a hug from us.

Sunshine fades, shadows fall
Memories of you will outlast them all
Unseen, unheard, you’ll always be near
Still loved, still missed still very dear
We shared some laughs
We shared some tears
But best of all we shared great years
No more tomorrows for us to share
But yesterday’s memories will always be there

You’re the best thing that ever happened to us.

No flowers and no service by request. Donations may be made in Jim’s memory to Angel Flight of British Columbia (angelflight.ca) a charitable, non-profit organization that provides free air transportation to ambulatory cancer patients requiring treatment at cancer clinics and hospitals in Vancouver and Victoria, within the approved Angel Flight areas of operation.
