A friend of my eldest brother, I have known Jay since I was a kid.

He lived with our family for a bit & I had told him he is my brother from another mother.

Our condolences to Jim's family. He was a good customer at Wylie Building Supply and my son Steven would do maintenance work on his small engines. Jim always had a story to tell and we enjoyed listening to him.

To Joan & all the Barnes family, our deepest sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers goes out to each & everyone of you. Jim was a good person & his dogs meant a lot to him, I know because I worked with Jim at Bonin Real Estate & then at Royal LePage for almost 30+ years as administrative secretary. He liked to talk a lot & make jokes. Jim was a gentle, caring person and he proved it went his wife was sick. He will be missed by all the people he cared for. We wish to all and everyone Force, Courage, Peace and Serenity. May Jim rest in peace in the arms of our Lord.

To the Walsh family and to Joan and the Barnes family, I offer my deepest condolences. I always enjoyed Mr Walsh'scommentaries and opinions at the Champlain Council meetings. They were always pertinent and he was well informed. He will be missed.

My sincere condolences to Jims" loved ones including his son. I worked, joked, argued and grumbled with him for many years. He was a dear person with many fine qualities. The care that he gave to Joan before her passing was a testimony to his good heart..

May he find peace in a better place.

It was during a different time, way back then Jim was a good friend and a regular at my brother garage in Hakesbury . Jim and myself rode the back roads of Prescott Russell looking for business to buy. He always had a story to tell followed with a jokes. Great memories. Jim may RIP my friend. We offer our sympathy and prayers to his love ones.
