Jim was a successful entrepreneur, owning and managing his business, Royal Decorating, for over 40 years. After the passing of Jim’s father he continued farming in Success, Saskatchewan. He also had a special talent for woodworking, completing countless projects as well as custom pieces that were enjoyed by many family members and friends over the years. Jim found great enjoyment hunting and fishing with his friends throughout his life, he shared and passed this love on to his grandchildren who were able to enjoy these activities with him often. Jim had a wonderful network of friends that he enjoyed socializing with, but above all Jim loved being with his family. They meant everything to him as he did to them. He will be greatly missed.
