Jim's career as a contract pilot of 43 years was a job he loved dearly. He flew for Aero Traders, Perimeter, Champs, Gardewine and 25 years with Paul's Hauling. He was checked out to fly 19 types of aircraft, his last being the Challenger 600 Jet. There will never be a better pilot and he was greatly respected by all that knew him in the flying community. He has taken his final flight and headed for the clouds one last time. After retiring as a pilot he worked for his longtime friends Howard and Barb's farm in Petersfield, helping Howard with some machine and building maintenance for four years before becoming ill with Parkinsons and Dementia. Thank you to all the staff at Betel for their wonderful help with looking after Jim. He will also be missed by his special brother-in-law John and special friend Joanne.

A year has passed since you left us Dad, I have tried to be strong but just the thought of losing you brings me to tears. I love you so much and am so glad you were my dad. I watch the home videos of you and miss that funny guy that made us all laugh. You were the best dad and grampa and Christopher, Stephanie, Jessica, Melissa, Chantelle, Shane, and Noah will never forget you, and of course your great-grandchildren, Erica, Aaron, and Payten. Fly high Dad and keep soaring above the clouds. You will forever be in our hearts... - Posted by: Corinne and Allen Siddle (daughter and son-in-law) on: Feb 20, 2018
