 Jim was a Jack of all Trades, but carpentry was his passion. He preferred working with real wood (and not that fake….). Music was a big part of his life, he loved to play guitar with family, friends, and Gene and the boys. He was an avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting, but his favorite part was boiling the kettle. Anyone that knew Jim, knows he loved his dozer, his family might say that he spent more time with his dozer than he did with his kids. Even though he would say that he wasn’t always the “Best Cat”, he was generous to a fault, often putting others a head of himself.

Along with his parents, Jim is predeceased by five sisters; Marg MacDonald, Mildred Hetherington, Mary Martin, Sadie McLean, Helen Harris, a brother Cecil Luke and a grandchild Tony Luke.
