Dear Elsie , Cindy, Trudy and Karen,
Jim was a wonderful person and had a unique personality. As a child growing up in Quispamsis, I found Uncle Jim had a teasing style of humor that was different. However, as I grew older I realized that behind that comedy was a sincere, loving father and husband, who would do anything for his family. He was passionate about the things he loved and was a friend to everyone. You all were so lucky to have him in your lives! Sincerest wishes that the peace and love of God be with you all during these difficult times. – Stephen (Stevie) Kelly

Dear Elsie and family
So saddened to hear of Jim’s sudden passing. My heart goes out to all of you, along with prayers and good thoughts. I will be making a donation to Heart and Stroke Foundation in his memory.
Our friendship spans many decades – actually since the late 1950’s.The miles between us has not lessened our friendship and I hope Elsie you will be well looked after by your daughters, family and friends.
