Jim was my district manager at Moore Business Forms, along with Bevan Morris & Bill Roedding. They were the "glory years " for Moore Business Forms. I was so fortunate to have Jim in my life, his wit, charm & above all his desire to see all his sales staff succeed made it a pleasure to work with him. I made several " achievement club " trips with him & Jean & loved being in their company. Jimmy, you will be sadly missed by ALL YOUR MOORE BUDDIES....R.I.P....until we meet again. To Jean & all the family my heartfelt condolence goes out to ALL of you.

I have so many memories of Jim and Jean. Our neighbours Jim and Joyce Hause and Floyd and I with The Walden’s and our children. We moved to Kitchener 1964, we stayed there for 3.5 years, Best time of my life, we all had so much fun and laugh, then of course came Oktoberfest, which we came back to Kitchener to celebrate with these wonderful friends and of course stayed with The Walden’s. When we first moved there and working around the house, Floyd would be out the backyard trying to make a lawn, Jim would come over right after work with his white shirt and dress pants to help my husband. And from there our friendships just blossomed. I will never forget Jim and Jean, their kindness to us and the good times. They will always be in my heart.
My heartfelt condolences to you Brad and Shelley and Susie and all the families.
Love. Rena.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Jim was greatly respected and admired. He was never tired taking Jean around Hagey . We can see the love and the patience. He never fails to give us a good laugh. The staff in Hagey-University Gates loves him and adored him. We will miss his presence. May your soul rest in eternal peace Jim! Know that we will continually take good care of your beloved wife Jean in Hagey as long as she lives. My sincere Condolences.

Our sincere condolences to the family. I hope your memories will bring you peace and comfort. I will certainly miss his presence at University Gates and miss him calling me Blondie! We loved to banter back and forth which gave us both lots of laughs, as there were days we really needed it.
Rest In Peace my friend and I will certainly miss you, but I’m sure you will be stirring up some fun in heaven.

Our sincerest condolences from the Wieser family.
I grew up with Scott, Brad, Shelley, Jim and Jean. I spent so much time at their place as a kid that they were like a second family to me.
Jim (or Mr. Walden to me back then) had a wit and sense of humor about him that I will never forget. He also had this incredible blend of compassion/ support and blunt frankness. He put up with a lot of our crazy, misbehaving childhood antics with a mix of parental tolerance and well-deserved discipline.
I thank you for your fatherly guidance and for putting up with me hanging around your home and family so much growing up. And thank you for the opportunity to experience so many firsts; my first time playing Pong, my first time jumping off a roof into a pool, my first swim in a 90 degree pool, my first time eating birthday cake with money in it, my first trip to Ellicottville and my first best friend Scottie growing up. You will be deeply missed.
John and Charlene Wieser and family.

Jim was the eldest of the Webster cousins and his engaging personality made it fun to be around him. We will all treasure the 100th Birthday Party that he attended for our Aunt Joyce 2 yrs ago with every living cousin present, it was so great to see him. Our condolences to all family members, I know you were very proud to have him as one of you. With Love, Shirley Jarvis

Whenever I spent time with Uncle Jim, whether at our cottage , at Colonial drive or skiing in Ellicottville he was always laughing, positive and upbeat. He always took time to discuss life / business with me and always provided advice and encouragement.. We should all live life the way he did - he definitely made the world ( and my life) a better place . Look forward to celebrating memories with Brad/ Shelley and families.

We are sorry for your loss and are grateful for the many times that our families have shared together. They range from close neighbours - to playing cards with the Kaye's - to Oktoberfest buddies - to skiing partners - to golfing and going out to dinner
We will miss you and are thankful for many unforgetable memories.

Pauline and I are deeply, deeply sorry that we are unable to be with all of you to share our grief and our memories of Jim and the life he had with Jean and the three of you, your spouses and kids, and their kids. I know you know how proud he was of all of you. That’s just the kind of man he was, open and honest and caring.
As a kid, I remember Jim as one of the few adults in my life that treated me and kidded with me as an adult. I was the eldest and never saw myself as “one of the kids” per se. I don’t know whether it was because Jim was also the eldest, but he never asked me about school or sports teams. He asked me about what I thought about events of the day. And he never once kidded me about those views, however silly they may have been. In retrospect, I can see that he was focused open communications, even with his nephew.
The other thing that I took away from Jim was how important it was to spend time together as a family. I am sure that those winters spent at Ellicotville are cherished memories by all of you. And I am sure that the memories are about more than skiing.
Quite a legacy.

It's been quite a few years since I last saw you Uncle Jim, but you have not changed one little bit. I know it's that warm and friendly smile. Cheryl & Randy Alderson (Ormerod)

Wow what does one say about "Jimmy"?
Probably the greatest influence in my life outside family. Jim gave me my first huge break in life when he hired me in 1973. It became a friendship that lasted.
Jim leaves an incredible legacy as mentor and model to all those of us that trained in sales under him.
I'll miss you Jimmy!
