He enjoyed being with people as much as they enjoyed his company. Thank you for all the dances Uncle Jim, I cherished every one of them. Please say hi to Deb for me. You will be dearly missed. I love you and will join you and Deb some day.

— Karen Collings, April 16, 2014Dear Joan, Just a few wee thoughts to share with you. I Loved Jim, like my own Dad in many ways. The memories I have in my heart of the times that you, me, Jim and Deb had together are the most wonderful memories in my lifetime. The smiles we shared, the music, the laughter, just all the times we had were, really, I cannot put into words but they are tucked away safely in my heart. As I get older and lose the people that I Love and the ones that are dearest in my heart, I realize that life is really short. I haven't really felt or noticed that until these past few years. I know that Jim is up there with Deb, happily playing the piano and laughing and Wynn, George, Mom, Lorne and his brother and Mom and Dad and of course other family members are all up there with him and they were there to greet him. I really think that Deb paved the way for me personally to be able to deal with all this grief. Losing her totally devastated me and broke my heart but made me stronger when I had to deal with losing my mom, my other best friend and then Lorne. Now Jim has passed. I am tired of losing the people that I have been closest to and have loved the most but somehow throughout all of this I am stronger. I know they are not here but I know they are around us, watching and protecting us. When I think of all of this, I am so thankful. I am so blessed and thankful for all the time that we were so fortunate to have shared together and all of the laughs and the music. How lucky I am to have been able to be a part in your lives. I Love You Joan, and you know I am here and just a call away. Dearest Jim, thank you so much for sharing your life with me. I will keep things in order at the cemetary for you and Deb and maybe plant some flowers or something this spring. When I go out there and sit on the bench, I will have a smoke with you and Deb. I Love You guys so much!! oxox
— Linda Ross (Watson), April 16, 2014We're saddened to learn of Jim's passing. We'll always be thankful for his great love of the history of Mount Forest that he shared so freely, and the joy he shared when he played the piano. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Joan. Blessings .. Helen and Bill McMeekin
— Helen and Bill McMeekin, April 15, 2014So very sad to hear of Jim's passing. Thoughts and prayers with you Joan, and the family. Many great memories doing music together at St Andrew's and our chats over haircuts. He has a special place in my heart.
— Nan and Gaston St Louis, April 15, 2014Jim will also be very much missed by his uncle, Bill McLuhan of Kitchener and his wife Muriel as well as their children Brenda and Lynn. Our thoughts are with you Joan, and we hope you are surrounded by the love of family and friends to support you in your grieving. As someone who lives so far away, I always appreciated Jim's warm and welcoming manner when we did see each other. He had an open and loving spirit that I will truly miss. As others have already said, I can picture him by Debbie's side entertaining those who have gone before him and surrounded by love and laughter.
— Brenda McLuhan, April 15, 2014Dear Joan and family. It is with great sadness we received the news of Jim's passing. He will always be remembered for his passion for a good joke and his knowledge of the history of our community. He will be missed.
