I am incredibly saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I had the privilege to work for Jim & Bill at the funeral home on occasion and his wit and gentle character were most impressive. My favorite memory of Jim was when he introduced us tall Kieraszewicz men as the Lithuanian Mafia to Bill when he was new to Rodney. My condolences to all of Jim's close friends and family.

Dear Susan, Kelly, Krista, Brenda and Families,
I will remember "Uncle Jim" to be a kind, caring and tender man who always took time to ask thoughtful questions and listen with interest and sincerity. As a child visiting Rodney to see Nana and Papa (Emerson & Mary Padfield), it was always a novelty and special destination to ride our bikes up to his house, and I can recall growing up thinking that it was the same house as Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation!
It is a true testament to his outstanding character to note how far-reaching this grief will be felt. My sympathies to all grieving.

To Susan and the Price Family
It was with great sadness to hear of the passing of Jim. The first time I met Uncle Jim was back in the late 80’s. I was attending my first OAOA conference with my brother Steve. Jim made me feel so welcomed and comfortable and from that moment on, I knew this person would have a large influence in my life. As time would have it, it did… from assisting me in purchasing my Service, working on the OAOA board of directors to becoming my business partner in 2000. Through all of those times, I always felt Jim was more of an older brother. He was like family. We will miss him dearly. God speed my friend. You will be missed.

To Susan, Kelly & Krista and your families.
I was shocked and saddened to read of Jim's passing in the LFP this morning. I have fond memories of Jim dating back to high school days and riding the Rodney bus to West Elgin High School -- Jim always seemed to be in charge of the bus and all of us on the bus!!
In later years, it was my privilege to work with JIm in a professional capacity as his lawyer -- so many meetings, so many projects, so many laughs. As a fellow 'Rodneyite', I'd always ask how things were in the old home town--his answer was always the same, 'Things are still the same in Hooterville!'
JIm was the consummate professional in every area of business he tackled; he never seem to be flustered, always looking for the positive in every challenge. HIs love for his family was always evident to me, and his love and dedication to Rodney, the Funeral Home, the Ambulance Service, and the Ambulance Association were without question.
Jim was a true gentleman! He will be missed by many, but most of all by his family--our love and prayers go out to you all; May the Lord wrap His arms of comfort around all of you!

Jim was a fellow Board Member with me at Guaranteed Funeral Deposits Of Canada a number of years ago. I will always remember that Jim assisted me while I was President in the recruitment of a new Executive Director for GFD. He was a great inspiration, thoughtful and a strong presence at the table, when we needed that guidance. I had an opportunity to connect with him and reminisce with a few past GFD Board Members, at an OFSA Annual Meeting that was held at Blue Mountain two years ago. I am most thankful for that chance meeting and opportunity.
Rest well Uncle Jim.

To live our lives one day at a time seems so true as we get older and no matter our age nothing should be taken for granted. Jim was such a terrific person in all that he did and we will remember him as a true giver of true compassion when he worked in the funeral business along with Em and later as his own business. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you deal with this loss of a husband, father, grandfather and a truly wonderful man.

Dear Susan and Family
My condolences at this most difficult time. Lots of fond memories of Jim and our working days together come flooding back to me as I comprehend Jim's sudden passing. I considered it an honour to have work with such a talented and compassionate funeral director and I am proud to call him my friend.
Jim and Susan took the time from their busy worlds to come up and help with the dedication ceremony on the opening of my funeral home in 2006 and I will always remember that thoughtfulness and kindness shown. I was able to take part in the dedication ceremony of the Rodney Chapel as well work in the beginning renovations of the West Lorne Chapel and together serve those communities for a number of years along with Jim. Take care my friend. Jason and Rhonda Lilley

When Jim spoke with anyone, he made them feel as if in that moment, they (and their life) was of utmost importance to him - a very rare quality. When he visited my store, we would often share a joke - often about golf - and it turned into a friendly competition to see who could get the biggest laugh. I will miss him always.

We where so saddened to hear of Jim's passing . Our hearts go out to you Sue, Kelly , Krista and families.
As a person who grew up in Clachan with Jim all be it with him being a few years older we where not playmates per say.
We (our gang) where probably more of a pain in the neck to him back then than anything! The memory I have today is Jim hitting golf balls back and forth over the Clachan road at holes he had on both sides. Maybe part of his intertest in golf was the etiquette part of the game because etiquette and attention to detail defined him as a person and in all of his accomplishments .
Will miss his chats regarding Clachan when our paths did cross.
Sincerely Lorin & Mary McWilliams

Dear Susan and family,
Jim and I were very saddened to hear of Jim’s sudden passing. His calm and professional manner and his extraordinary wit will be missed by many.
You could always call on Jim to fill in as a MC or commentator, or provide a sound system (last minute) for the Rodney Pool end of summer synchronize swim show.....
We have many Jim-isms, the one we might mention is hitting golf balls across the pond one very cold New Years Eve. It was his idea to use a piece of banana as a tee, since the ground was frozen.
His memories will live on in our hearts.
Our thoughts and prayers to Susan, children and grandchildren.

Our hearts go out to you on the sudden passing of your dad, husband, and grandfather.
Jim was such a good friend and neighbour to my parents. My dad really respected, and looked up to him. My mom enjoyed and is grateful for all the years she worked with Jim. Grandma Oliver admired him too. It was comforting knowing he was just over the fence and available for any situation or a quick chat.
Jim was a tremendous speaker, and projected such class. He was a leader in the community.
Our thoughts go out to your family in the days ahead.

Uncle Jim was a leader in so many ways, but one that left a legacy nationwide were his 20 years chairing the EMS Exemplary Service Medal National Advisory Committee for the Chancellery of the Governor-General. Thanks to his gentle hand steering awards committees across the country, over 5,000 long-serving paramedics have been recognized for their exemplary service. This is my favourite picture of Jim and I with Governor General David Johnston. Rest gently my friend... rest gently.

One of my favourite memories of Jim is from a Greek trip Sue and Jim and Mac and I spent together. Both Jim and Mac were not the best of sailors yet we were on a boat for several days. The two of them sat side by side, sharing stories and staring at the horizon....hoping against hope this would keep them from being seasick. It did. Of course, being neighbours for so many years, I used to enjoy Jim’s dry sense of humour. He was also an excellent speaker and impressed us often when he was called upon to speak. He also coached Kristen, our daughter and Krista, his daughter in baseball ....such a many faceted man. He will be missed.

Sharing one of my "Jim-ism"
I also was a resident from the small village of Clachan so I'm remembering Jim as a older and good looking neighbor as well as a brother-in-law. Jim had a serious, intelligent and caring side to him, but there was also a very quirky, funny side. Jim will always be in my memory as a memorable person, who I was so fortunate to have known and been a very small part of his life. May the many memories and stories shared of Jim bring a smile as well as a tear to all.

Jim’s calm and collected demeanour, level of compassion and professionalism as well as his dry wit are a few of his qualities that I came to know and admire.

Jim was instrumental in my career as an Ambulance Operator, during my acquisition and purchase of the Service, and ultimately through the download and fight for compensation, could not have done it without his sage advice and assistance! Personally Jim and Susan always welcomed Karen and I and our 2 boys as if we were family, and it was always appreciated. The social aspect of the OAOA was always special.

Dear Susan, Kelly, Krista & families
From our days of growing up in Clachan, Jim coming down to the farm, lots of play time as well helping out when it was hay & straw baling time, lots of fun times were had by all. I recall one evening Jim & Susan came for dinner after my brother, Wayne had passed away & as we were eating, mention of Wayne came up in conversation & a small stained glass that hung on kitchen window over the sink fell off & landed unbroken. I recall Jim clearly saying that made my hair stand up on my neck, Wayne was letting us know he heard us or so we thought. Over the years we remained in touch & if it wasn't Jim asking a question about the family tree, or something that happened with Aunt Dorie, it was sending Birthday & Christmas wishes or just catching up
with what was happening in our lives. We will miss Jim very much.
Love, Clare & Cheryl Lindsay

Jim was a big influence in my younger years and I am grateful for the many ways in which he helped me. He was responsible for enhancing my interest in music and in fact was the first person to introduce me to a guitar. He helped me in learning to pitch fastball and also respect the game and my team-mates. As well, he encouraged and counselled me to develop academic and life goals and work hard to achieve these. I was very lucky to have known him and despite less contact in recent years my heart is aching at this loss.
