This is very sad news that Jim is no longer with us. Sincere condolences to Linda and Jim's family and friends.
Jim's passing is a great loss to the military vehicle collecting community. He truly loved to search out and acquire vehicles, no matter where in the country. I would think over the years he owned more Jeeps than anyone else. Friends will recall the anguish he suffered a few years ago when he liquidated a large part of his Jeep fleet. He overcame that situation by continuing to search and buy more. I will miss our often long telephone conversations (interrupted by frequent calls for wrecker service) as Jim kept me up to date on Jeep, CMP and Dodge finds through his large network of friends all across Canada. Despite his huge health struggle over the past months he was always positive. It was encouraging to me he continued to try to buy anything Jeep related I had. Our final conversation on Tuesday was very brief and by then, no mention of his beloved Jeeps. Rest in peace Jim. Brian
