JAMES BARRETT

Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

• I met Jim in 1985 and he remained my advisor and good friend through the years. Jim was always very thoughtful, positive, and always spoke kindly of others. He always took an interest in what was going on in my life, aside from financial matters. As for the latter, his advice on investing lead me and my wife to years of enjoying retirement well before the usual retirement age. He always treated me to supper when I was down in Winnipeg from our Thompson home. I was at our cabin at the time and was deeply saddened upon hearing of his passing. It's hard to lose such a good friend after over 32 years. - Posted by: Tom Heimer (client and freind) on: Jun 12, 2018

• We met Jim when he became our financial advisor. We were away when we heard he had passed and were deeply saddened by this news. He was a lovely man and had such kindness and humour that you just felt he was far more than an advisor. He was an important and loved person in our lives and we are grateful for his presence. We will miss him. Deepest condolences to his partner, Sandy and to the rest of his family and close circle. - Posted by: Marlies and Tony Roziere (Clients and Friends) on: Nov 14, 2017

• I met Jim while I worked as a barista at Starbucks on Corydon. Jim was always the first customer of the day, often arriving before the employees, and we always liked talking with him as we prepared him the first dark roast of the day. On my breaks I enjoyed sitting with him, he showed a genuine interest in my university studies. When my mother got sick with stage 3 breast cancer, we received two very generous anonymous gift certificates to the spa and we eventually discovered that they were from Jim. Jim could have simply remained a stranger in my life, but due to his genuine concern and interest in others, he became a friend. I am deeply saddened by this news of your passing, Jim. - Posted by: Lane () on: Nov 12, 2017

• I met Jim many years ago through the Children's Wish Foundation and our Cops for Kids Cycling Team, I was immediately impressed with his dedication and efforts in helping make children's dreams come true. I continued to see Jim at the Reh-Fit Center as he was a regular in the cycling classes, I enjoyed spending time with him after class to catch up. Jim was caring and inquisitive, always very interested in what was going on in my life. Jim struck me as someone who cared a great deal for others, he was a wonderful man who will be missed. My condolences to Sandy and his family and friends. - Posted by: Gord Friesen (Friend) on: Nov 07, 2017

• I met Jim years ago at Starbucks. We've had many many 10 minute conversations over the years as I stopped in to grab my coffee on the way to work. I'll miss the conversations about the Jag, Sandy's Jeep, the cabin day trips, your love of your staff, and most of all, your pergola that you loved so much! My deepest condolences to Sandy's, Jim's staff and his family. I'm glad to have met Jim and having heard his stories over the years. The way he talked about the people in his life makes me feel like I know you all. Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Bob Phangureh (Friend) on: Nov 06, 2017

• I met Jim and his family in the Grace Hospital some six years ago, when his mom and I shared a room for a while. I found him to be thoughtful, quiet, and very concerned about his family. I know he was a great influence on family members and I always appreciated that in his nature. I also know he passed away far too soon. My sincere condolences to Sandy and to family members. - Posted by: Sheilah Land (friend) on: Nov 04, 2017
