Dear Jim's family, Reading of Jim's passing, I wanted to express my most heartfelt condolences to you. "Jim the Cabbie" was one of my favourite people. We talked about everything in his always-beige car - local news, politics, genealogy, Freemasonry, people we knew in common, his family, my family - you name it. He always had a smile for his customers, and he seemed to always be on call (did he ever sleep?) Even after I moved away, if I was ever back in London, I'd give his number a call and we'd have a coffee and a chat. It was a privilege to know such a funny, hard-working, and genuine character. Please know I will miss him a great deal, and I will remember him fondly always. I'll head up to Wingham this weekend to pay my respects in person. Alison Mitchell-Reid Stratford, ON
