It is with great sorrow that I have to say goodbye to my Uncle Jimmy. Although he was my uncle, he was only one year older than me, and he left us far too soon. He will be missed by everyone that knew and loved him.
Jimmy grew up with us as if he were our brother. When Jimmy was younger and living in Toronto, he would stay with us every summer in Cape Breton. My mom, Valerie (Jimmy's older sister), wanted to get him away from the city and enjoy the great summers in Nova Scotia. Jimmy, Ronnie (my brother), and I created many incredible memories. Whether it was fishing down on the Sydney docks or Wentworth Park, building cabins in the woods, biking all over Sydney, hiking trails, swimming at the many beaches nearby, playing street hockey and baseball, or walking to the mall to play video games at the arcade. We were always together. We also got into a lot of mischief, but those stories are saved when we are among our close friends and family. My mom and dad (Ronnie) were instrumental in helping Jimmy in many ways, and Jimmy always appreciated it. Jim was a kind soul and had a heart of gold.
Jimmy, my uncle, my brother, my friend; we miss you, and may your soul rest in peace.
