We would like to extend our sincere condolences to you and your family Mrs Rowcliffe. Jim sold us our first home in 1974 and we had to tow along our little son with his little potty because we were training him. Jim thought that was great! Over the years we always called on Jims services as we felt we knew and trusted him! That’s quite special and a great tribute to a real gentleman. Apart from his mustache, Jim was an outstanding person who I’m sure you will greatly miss. May God bring you comfort, peace and hope in the difficult days and weeks ahead.
sincerly, Jack and Alice
Our daughter in London forwarded the sad news of Jim’s death. We offer our sincere condolences to Anna and all the family. Jim was a good friend of my brother, Barry Richards, and my mother, Elizabeth Richards (both of whom died in 1999), and they thought a lot of both Jim and Anna; we met Jim through them. Jim will be greatly missed, not only by his family, but by his many friends.
It is with sadness that I read of Jim’s passing. His honesty, humor, patience and integrity will be remembered.
I first met Jim 43 years ago. Over those years my parents, and later my husband and I came to know Jim quite well. Amazing, that Jim remembered anyone he had dealt with in the past.
You will remember him always, with love in your heart’s, and pride in his many great achievements and the friend’s that he made over the years. My thoughts are with you at this time.

It was with great sadness that I heard of Jim’s passing on. His character and friendship will always be remembered.
I was introduced to Jim through a mutual friend over 12 years ago to do some computer work. I have met with Jim and his wife a number of times during those years. They were always very gracious and welcomed me into their home whenever I was there.
I offer you and your family my deepest condolences in your time of need.
Sincerely,
Mark W. Korn
Jim you were a true gentleman, you will be missed. Our prayers are with you.

We have been thinking about the length of time we have known each other. Anna and Mary go back to childhood days. Jim and Steve enter the relationship a little later. Whether as friendship or business our meetings have been good and with glad anticipation.Some of our children even attented Central SS together.
It is with great sadness that we read of Jim’s death. He was not just a real estate agent, but also a good friend to us. To Anna & family: we will pray that God’s peace may keep you.
Our deep condolences to Anna and all members of the family. We shall always remember our get-togethers for coffee with Jim- we tried to solve the problems of the world. We’ll miss him.
Our prayers are with you.
Our thoughts are with Paul & Pam Rowcliffe and the entire Rowcliffe family as you grieve the loss of Jim.
His love for and influence on the family will guide you through this grief, so that you can focus on the good memories you shared with him and celebrate his life. His soul and spirit will remain with you all whenever you choose to draw upon it.
On behalf of Bev Johnston and family I convey our sincere words of condolence on the passing of your beloved husband and father, Jim.
Bev and my wife, Deanne, are in Vancouver and can not attend on Wednesday but they wanted to ensure that you got this message that their thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
Please accept our sincerest sympathy Anna…Pauli & I extend our condolences to you and your Family. Jim was really great friend…and was always interested in our health these past couple of years..even when his own health must have been of great concern! He will always be one of OUR fondest memories.
