• Jimmy/James/Jim. No matter what name you knew him by, he was a truly special person. I first met Jim, (little Jimmy Sangster, to start) shortly after our family moved to Charleswood in 1969. We attended the same schools, had a couple siblings the same age or close enough, were close geographically, as our streets intersected. Jim had the most infectious smile from day one. As we got a little older, Jimmy turned to James. Still, ever the gentleman. Then we grew apart for awhile. I reconnected with 'Jim' when my children attended KIDS Inc and Montrose School. Jim holds a special place in our hearts. He was so proud of his children spoke of them often as well as his nieces and nephews. Jim we love you and miss you but know your light shines on from above and through the people who's lives you've touched. - Posted by: Dawn Watson (nee Turner) & family (Friend) on: Jun 23, 2015

• I met " Little Himminey Cricket" , as I called him, when he vactioned in Mexico , two winters ago. We kept in touch and renewed our friendship in Mexico this past winter. He was a fun, fun guy. Everyone at the resort loved Jim. He bought a smile to all, treated everyone kindly, lifted our spirits whenever he walked by. Jim and I shared many a great Rum & Coke ( he could pour a mean drink !! ) at Sundowners and sometimes for that final night cap. One of my fondest memories was of Jim jumping into the pool amidst a large group of us gossiping women and turning us into a water aerobics class with hiim as our instructor and leader!!!!!! Our little saying we shared ??? "it's similiar, but different" ! .......love you Jim.... will never forget you! - Posted by: NanCie West (Friend) on: Jun 22, 2015

My condolences to all his friends and family. - Posted by: Gary W Morlock (Good friend from work) on: Jun 20, 2015

• I am deeply saddened and shocked by Jim's passing. I had known him for many years, as my children attended Montrose School and my daughter Rachael also knew him when he worked briefly at Ecole RIver Heights. Both my children as do I loved him very much. I will always remember his smile, genuine love and concern for everyone he met. Jim was an amazing human being and I will forever miss him. The children at Montrose and the children I work with at KIDS INC. Will be forever changed by his passing. We are all better, richer human beings for having known him.he will be forever in our hearts. His heart was so full of love for everyone he met. I am very saddened that I can not attend the funeral personally, as people from our management team will be representing KIDS INC. I have made my own tribute to Jim in my own way. I love you Jim.

• James was a very close friend. A long time ago a card reader said that we would have a boy in our lives. Little did we know that James would be that boy. He was like a son to us. He helped in so many ways that it would take too long to describe it all. He was kind, gentle, had a great sense of humour and was willing to help you anytime and in any way that he could. He had an astounding memory for people and faces. It amazed us. May God rest his soul and we will remember him for ever. - Posted by: Fran and Floyd Wonnick (Friend) on: Jun 20, 2015

• James was like a son to us. We were told by a card reader a long time ago that we would have a son we would be looking after. Little did we realize that it would be James. He lived with us a for 5 wonderful years. He helped us in many ways that would take too long to describe. He was gentle, kind, and never had a bad word to say about anyone. He seemed to know everyone and had a memory of people that was astounding! Everyone liked him immensely. May God rest his soul. They say, the good die young; and this seems to be true. We will think of him always. - Posted by: Fran and Floyd Wonnick (Friend) on: Jun 20, 2015
