“I'm so sorry for your loss Adele. I just saw Jim's news ( 01/04/24). You & Jim played a large part in my life many years ago. I remember Jim as a kind & caring man with a passion for the "season of hockey"-he mostly went invisible for this timeframe. He will be missed. Kecia (Knight-Healey) Courtemanche”
