My Uncle Jimmy was a quiet, kind, and thoughtful man who lived a good life. He always greeted me with a smile and a hug every time I visited. Through our conversations, I felt he was genuinely interested in what was going on in my life. Even as a kid he would include me in the conversations around the kitchen. I have fond memories of skidoo rides, eating beans and carrots from the garden playing on the school bus.
Jimmy was a close to his family and it was obvious he loved his brothers and sisters and all the kids who spent time at ‘Grammie Munroe’s’. Graduation pictures of his nieces and nephews were proudly displayed in the living room.
My most recent memory is when I visited him at Valley View Village, and he was so sharp talking about his beloved Blue Jays and current events of the day. He teared up when talking about all the residential school children who were found in unmarked graves. Jimmy was sensitive and caring and lived his life caring about others.
