Jim worked for LE Shaw Ltd. in Lantz for over 30 years as a truck driver. He made many friends, shared many stories and travelled millions of miles. Jim was a very well-liked, kind man who had many friends and neighbours who valued his friendship throughout the years. He loved meeting and talking to people anywhere, anytime wherever he went. In his retirement years he enjoyed winters in Florida, meeting friends at Tim Hortons “Daycare” for the latest news, taking drives on his motorcycle, going for walks and puttering around the yard, but most of all he enjoyed his big leather chair and watching NASCAR races.
