Our heart felt sorrow goes out to Jim, Shirley and their family. It has been a hard struggle for the whole family for some time and we know Jim's wishes have been answered. We have Not been amazed at the many many friends and acquaintances that have shown their respect at Kipp's Funeral Home over his last few days. This does show you the kind of person Jim actually was. We hope that we all have a true friend through life and Jim certainly had "his" in the name of Robbie Vipond through thick and thin. God speed Jim and if there is a second life, we know that hockey, baseball will be a big part of that life. Shirley, you are one of the most caring and bravest people we know and a true partner in life.

Dear Shirley and Family: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Jim was a wonderful person and whenever I met him he always had a story to tell - especially a sports related story - I believe that is a Torti trait. My heart goes out to you Shirley as you have been such a strong support the past couple of years for Jim. Fond memories of Jim will always be with me. Love Patricia Torti

Dear Shirley Dan, Greg, Bob and Carol and families What a punch in the head! Especially when you can't fight back. Shirley, you know how much Jim meant to me. My friendship with Jim, as Bob will remember goes back to the 1950's in Eagle Place. As I told Jim many times,over the years I feel that he was the best athlete that ever came out of Eagle Place. Jim and I were planning to get together with our two Shirley's next summer when I bought another car and go for a ride somewhere. That is one beautiful happening that will never take place. We always think we have lots of time to do things. Some of us no longer have that luxury. We have to learn not to wait any more. I enjoyed learning to play hockey from watching Jim when we with a gang kids played on the Grand River at Turtle Bay. Jim was always a happy family man who loved his wife and boys dearly. They were never far from his thoughts and his world revolved around them. Jim was a man's man. I am so proud tohave known him. With his passing a chunk of me goes also and my world becomes a little smaller. My sincerest Condolencs Cam

Shirley and family. I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Jim. My love and thoughts are with you. I remember Jim always so full of life and fun and mischief. He was a bright light and the world is a little dimmer without his smile and laugh. If anything can be said he was well loved and what more can we ask for in life. My love and prayers to the family. Love Donna Swanson
