Jim was a long-time resident of Waterloo where he operated a successful commercial real estate appraisal business for over 25 years. He spent a short time in Toronto with the CIBC working from the corporate real estate offices before moving back to Waterloo.

Jim graduated from KCI and then the University of Waterloo before moving to Toronto. After 35 years, he continued to enjoy the routine of playing cards every Wednesday night with his good friends. That long term relationship with the boys, turned into camping trips with the new wives and then with the new children and finally with whole families of campers who spent many memorable weeks at the Pinery and Killbear Provincial Parks. Jim loved his relationship with those friends.
