Affectionately known as, “James”, “Jim”, “Jimmy”, “Dad”, “Grampie”, “Papa” and “Uncle James”. He lived a full life, filled with family and friends. Dad was a good man, honest, fair, respected and witty. He enjoyed giving of himself to help others. He began working over 80 years ago, making hay for 10 cents per day.
