Jim began the sport of curling at the age of 16 and he has been active every winter since 1932, except during the war. That start led to appearances in five provincial play-downs. Jimmie was an enthusiastic supporter of his favourite Yankees and Leafs and he coached minor baseball and hockey teams.

He was honored at the 2010 Ontario Volunteer Service Awards, for his 60 years of service to his community. Jimmie was a Member of the Liberal Party of Canada and an avid follower of politics right up until his last day.
