My heart is heavy with the loss of Jamie's larger than life personality and joie de vivre. I have so many memories of Jamie. I am going to share four. These four memories span Jamie's life, from baby to little boy to teenager to adulthood. i think they capture the spirit of my cousin. The first time I remember meeting Jamie, I was a little four and half year old girl, seated on the couch at our home on Pond Street in Sault Ste. Marie, my feet just reaching over the couch. I felt important and grown up because a little baby boy was placed in my arms. Jamie is the first baby I remember holding. He was so tiny and little, but I remember gazing into his face and having his beautiful blue and expressive eyes trained on me. He won my heart then and has had it ever since. It was the start of a closeness and unshakeable bond that neither time, nor distance, nor life's winding path could take away from us. The second memory is when Jamie and is family were living in a second story apartment in an old house on Wellington Street in Sault Ste. Marie. I loved that old place. I remember one morning in particular. Jamie would have been about four. It was the morning and he was sitting up in bed. Smiling, his blue eyes glowing and the sunlight shining on his very blond hair through the window. I must have spent the night. Anyway, from his blue bedroom there was a set of stairs that went to an attic that had all kinds of cool things. I convinced him to go up there with me, even though we were not supposed to. Always and adventurous spirit, it did not take much convincing to get Jamie to go with me! A third memory is when the family was living in Toronto in the apartment building off of Don Mills Road. I don't remember what floor, but it was high. End unit. I am babysitting and Jamie had friends over. All good. They were on the balcony. I come out of the kitchen and what do I see? Jamie STANDING on the railing at the end of the balcony, one hand on the base of the balcony above, balancing himself, as he is turned around talking to his friends. I almost had a heart attack. I do not know how I stayed calm, but I knew I not to startle him. So I remember saying 'Hey Jamie, can you come here for a minute'. He looked back at me with his big smile, said yes and then HOPPED down. Again, my heart was in my throat. When he came in through the patio doors, I LOST it. I remember saying 'Are you crazy? What are you doing up there? You could have fallen?' Jamie responded with 'I'm not gonna fall, I do it all the time. I told him 'I don't care what you do when I am not here but don't you dare do that again when I am here. If anything happened to you your parents would kill me!' Jamie just laughed and told me to 'chill out!' A fourth memory is adult Jamie, the day Cherie and Jamie married. I was so happy for both of them. Sweet Casey and little Tyler running around, oh so adorable. But on this day, I brought my now husband, Brian. It was the first time Brian met our extended family. I guess ultimately this is Brian's memory, because he shares that Jamie came right up to him that day, in all seriousness, and was 'right in my face.' Brian says he told me 'Alison is very special and you had better treat her that way 'cause if you don't, I gonna fuck you up!' I completely forgot about this, but Brian shared it again this morning. The first picture I have of me and Brian sits in a frame and was taken that day. Finally, a fifth memory of Jamie as dad. As a Principal of a high school, I got a call from Jamie about how to help Tyler finish high school. He trusted me to have some good advice. Of course I had a plan. I was working at a school in Bowmanville then. We had Tyler join our school. Not only did it keep me connected to Jamie, but it was how I got to know Tyler as a teenager and young adult. So nice for me to have this very special bond with Tyler, all because of Jamie. I appreciated and still value how much confidence, trust, belief and love Jamie had for me, that he believed I could make a difference for Tyler. Ultimately me, Jamie and Casey provided the pathway, but it was Tyler who made the difference for Tyler. How much Jamie loved his family was just a part of this person that I loved and still love so dearly. Thank you for touching my life Jamie, I will love your forever.

Jamie was my crazy, funny older cousin. We didn’t see each other often but it was always a fond moment. I know he is in the great hereafter with Nana and grandpa Floyd, my dad Ray, uncle Terry and his dad Dennis. I’m sure that Auntie Jean and uncle Frank are there also. I know that we will be able to see each other again, and have a great family reunion. My love and condolences go to his family and Aunt Candy and Renee.
