Remembering Mr Bird (Jim) From all my Saturdays at the LC. Would see him at our Jr. hockey games in the morning and again at the public skates in the afternoon. Mr Bird even took me to the E.R when I took a hockey stick to the face. He stayed there with me until my folks showed up. Myself and parents knew Mr. Bird would be at the L.C looking out for me when my folks weren't able to attend. Great man and neighbor. So sorry for his passing.
Our sympathies to the Bird family and Jim & Dee. Our thoughts are with you.

Dad,
You'll be missed by all those you've ever met. If only I could be half the person you were, I would consider myself successful. I've never heard anything but positive comments about you. Dee and I, as well as all you grandchildren, will miss you very much
Jim.
