Sorry to hear of Jim's passing, it's been many years since I have seen Jim but as I look at his picture he really hasn't changed. Being related our families would get together when we were kids many years ago. Rest in peace Jim.

I’m so sorry to read about Jim I’m sure going to miss seeing him walking the dogs up the road. Whenever I’d drive by I’d see him and I’d move over and he’d always wave showing his appreciation. I truly appreciate the times you looked after my small little fur babies. You both worked so hard in your business. I know Jim will be missed by so many. My sincere sympathy to you all

Sincere condolences to the family. I remember meeting Jim in Leamington over 40 years ago, and loved his sense of humor, and of course the mustache. It is a shocker to hear he passed.
We had many laughs back then.

I am so very sorry for this sad news. I spent countless hours at the Gillanders Ruthven home as a kid. Jim was always so nice to this annoying little cousin. I admired all the horse show ribbons the kids had won. I always thought I had the hunkiest boy cousins in Jim and Larry. I was so glad we reconnected and visited at a family event a couple of years ago. I have special memories.

How fondly I remember our childhood. We were constant companions. We were not only first cousins but best friends. I don't think there was a day that we didn't see each other. I miss him terribly, and know that there is a huge family there to greet him. I offer extreme sympathy to Francine Terry, Tammy and Tanya. Jim loved each of you desperately, and forever. We will celebrate a life well-lived and well-loved. God will provide strength for each of us so the days move forward without Jim. I have great compassion for Larry and Carmen and Judy and Bill. We will move on together. Sending prayers for all.
