Our hearts are very heavy today. We were most fortunate to be able to have known The Shoe and his wife. He always carried a joke and a big heart wherever he went. He will be greatly missed by everyone. R.I.P. "Big Jim" and God Bless...
To share a small memory, i was at Atco bar and a little over the top and told Jim that i was afraid i couldn't get back to the motorhome and he assured me that If I fell down, he would carry me to the motorhome......so now, god gets to carry him to heaven and the memories will live on.....
