James Wilson
Words can’t describe the pain we feel in our hearts due to the loss of my Father. He was a caring man who worked hard, up until his death, providing for his family. We find comfort in the memories of the good and not so good times we had together. His mannerisms and the small things that once drove us crazy now make us smile. I catch myself looking at the front door expect him to walk in, and then I remember… he’s gone to a better place.
Rest in peace
Steve & Darlene Henvey
Elizabeth and family,
We cannot express the sorrow and shock we feel over Jim’s passing.
He was a wonderful, caring and funny man. Our hearts go out to you
at this painful time.

Mrs. Wilson, we cannot begin to tell you how sorry we are. We have such wonderful memories that we will cherish forever of Mr. Wilson and your family. One of my favourite memories was that you could walk into your house any time of day and it was always full of people and everyone was treated like part of the family. Talking in the kitchen and Wrestling blaring in the living room and Mr Wilson always relaxed in the big chair and surrounded by teenagers and little ones rolling all over the floor.
We love you all and you are in our thoughts and prayers through this very difficult time.

Scott, we are very sorry to hear about your dad…
