Beautiful memories of a wonderful individual that I am proud to call a friend. We shared Polish dinners and hours together with Jim and Ann. My husband Don and Jim had a "man bond", that enabled them to do all they did with dedication and love and they appreciated the work ethic they each had. Jin - your smile and kindness, as well as your beautiful and generous spirit will live on, in the many hearts and lives you touched. Rest in peace!
This guy changed our life, set us on a trail that would go on for 50 years.... Pam Jean Gord will be missed ..
Jim was always generous and helpful to my family and was always there when you needed him. He was my birthday buddy as we shared the same birthday. He will be greatly missed.
Jim’s a beautiful human being that shared incredible love with our family. Between the love, patience and supportive companionship he always provided my mom…to the love and cheerleading for our children and nephews—he’s been a joy to all of us. You’ve taught me a few valuable lessons that I will take with me in life…so you’ll remain with us going forward—we love and miss you, Jimmy! pb

Very sorry to get the sad news of the loss of Jim. I have very fond memories of my parents taking me to the farm to visit my Crossan cousins. Corn roasts, hockey and skating on the pond, good times! Fondly remembered Cousin Linda (Aunt Madeline's daughter)
