Jimmy (as he was known to his family and friends) was a Renaissance man, well read on myriad subjects and multi-skilled in a variety of fields. He was particularly savvy in figuring out all things mechanical (especially car and motorcycle engines) as well as upholstery. He could design, sew and upholster anything imaginable, whether big or small. And if he couldn't fix something a conventional way, he would creatively MacGyver a workable solution to the problem. This led to some interesting jobs over the years, including customizing stretch limousines for the automotive industry and upholstering airplane seats for an aviation company.
Jimmy marched to the beat of his own drum, often in the opposite direction of the rest of society, but he steadfastly held to his desired course. Despite numerous health challenges over the past decade and a half, he continued to remain optimistic that he would get back up on his feet (literally). We hope that he is now walking freely and unencumbered once again.
In accordance with James' wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no funeral service.
If desired, donations in James' name can be made to Diabetes Canada (Ontario Division).
