Sincere condolences to all of Jim's family. Always enjoyed our chats when we met in town. Jim was involved with many of our family's projects when we owned the Chalet which always entailed countless "meetings" before and after those projects. Cherish the memories you have of Jim as he was one of a kind!

Jim was one of those good old boys. My Mom and Dad thought the world of Jim and he called my Dad “black boy” maybe not politically correct but Mom & Dad spent many years in Mexico, Acapulco. Dad always had an amazing tan so that’s where the term came from. Jim did backhoe work for them too. Please know you are all in our families thoughts. Sending condolences! 🥰
We are so very sorry for your loss. Jim was a good man and a great friend. Always enjoyed our visits. Cherish your many memories. So glad I was able to visit him when I did. Please take care!! John and Rose Dobie

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of your father, Peter. May you and your family take comfort in the memories you have of him. He sounds as if he was a really nice guy.
To all the Harding family. Our sincere condolences. Jim was a long time friend of the Ball family. From excavation work in our back yard, to keeping the family snowmobile running. A Jack of all trades and good friend. Jim will be sadly missed by many.
We are all sending our condolences Pete. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time, wishing you peace, wonderful memories, and lots of care.
Sincere condolences to the Harding family. Pete and Teresa you are in our thoughts. Sending hugs, strength and prayers. ❤️🙏
To Dorothy, Peter, and Diane: I am saddened to read of the passing of Jim, a great neighbour for 60 years. It is hard to believe he was 90 because he always seemed so young and able and skilled with equipment. An example of that skill being the work he did with his backhoe just a few years ago, in his late 80s helping us cleanup our property after severe windstorm damage. Competent, kind, humble…a great neighbour. Please accept my sympathies. Jay Sherwin
