My deepest condolences. Jim was one of the people that helped me Keep It Together enough when the Seizure Meds for my headaches made me Irrationally Suicidal and nobody had an explanation. I understood/understand the Mysterious Illness thing much better than most. I tried to help/listen but when the counterparty wanted to get off of the phone almost immediately nothing could be done at this end.
Jimmy's death hit me harder than most because I was one of the few who understood his predicament and has lived under that cloud.
Face Man and I talked about coming to the Memorial, but I misunderstood the date. I thought you had said a week from Sunday and didn't realize it just 2 days away. I looked at the message you sent mid-morning that Sunday...Oops.
The last time I saw Jimmy was a night where 4 of us including Face Man ended up at Tom Jones steakhouse after starting the night at PJ's. It was a great evening,
Again, my sincere condolences.
Wm. Blake Jacobs

I am at a loss for words for how empty I'm feeling at this sad time. Jim and I were as close as brothers for quite sometime and although we hadn't been in contact for awhile I will miss him dearly. He made a huge impact on my life and will always be in my heart and mind. My condolences to Drew, Ellen and Edith and anyone else affected by this terrible loss. Godspeed my friend.

As one of the oldest Halliday cousins I would like to send collective condolences and love to Edith, Ellen and Drew. Getting together this past Sunday and reminiscing about summers on Crystal Lake was cherished by all of us cousins on a very sad occasion. Hold on to your family. Rest in peace dear Jim.

Dear Edith- I am heartbroken about the loss your beloved Jim. Having known you both for so many years, I have so many fond memories.
Jim was always so kind to me, calling me when I was in the hospital- too many times- and most recently sharing your experiences of driving back and forth to Palm Springs. He would send me beautiful pictures of your travels to the California coast and Joshua Tree. Our lunch together in February will hold a special memory!
Jim was an excellent storyteller and he always made me laugh. I will miss him dearly; however I will always smile when I think of him.
With love and hugs,
Michele Goddard

To share just one memory from the many that Jimmy and I have shared is far too difficult. Jimmy, (and he will always be Jimmy to me), first met as part of the Midland Doherty team that shaped our business lives. It was while at Midland that Jimmy took THAT trip to China and met "Ede". The ribbing he took on his return was merciless, but it was the real thing. They were together thereafter. The memories from Midland were many: the night he parked his brand new sports car too close to the field and it got hit by a wayward baseball and Jimmy's impersonations of Whitey are just two that stand out. It wasn't all fun and games though, Jimmy honed his skills and became the business professional so many of us know him as.
I'll remember him best as the man who was every animals' best friend. Most of us know that Jimmy loved dogs and horses but Jimmy was a friend to any animal. One Friday night, we were driving north to the farm on a deserted stretch of highway, when Jimmy instructed me to pull over and stop the car. He had spotted a snapping turtle crossing the roadway. He got out of the car and using a nearby construction cone carried and cajoled the turtle into the roadside ditch away from danger. On another occasion we met, to drive to the farm and Jimmy was quite down. He was going to have to tell Ede that while driving earlier in the week, two squirrels had run across in front of his car and one had not made it.
As many business friends do we drifted apart, but in recent years we had come back together, meeting each year in Palm Springs. Jimmy could still regale us with stories and memories from the past. Some of the many include: the night Michele ended up in the Wiarton hospital emergency ward and he and the local OPP had to duct tape my driver side window closed; the trip with Ricky to see our racehorses train in Florida when the two of them sat in the car and made me put three dollars worth of gas in the car to get us out of a shady neighborhood in Miami; his neighbor in California with the license plate ARMPITS; Jimmy's membership at the local fitness centre in Palm Springs; our riding lessons at Sunnybrook Stables before they burned down; the dinner at Rick's that Jimmy didn't get invited to. I have so many great memories and stories, they all make me smile and am so glad that I am able to call Jimmy my friend. Just being Jimmy, has touched me and will never be forgotten.

We will all miss you dearly Jim. Your Analytical nature and gregarious personality was a rare and wonderful combination. I cherish our many casual and wide reaching conversations. Our mutual love of art and visual representation was a wonderful bond in our friendship. Your confidence and decisiveness coupled with your softness and respect for nature/conservation was a gift to us all.
Rest in comfort Jim.

Edith and family, please accept my most sincere condolences for the passing of Jim. A terrific person who had such a lasting impact on all those he connected with.
I first met Jim casually in the early '90s, and then professionally in '95 when he interviewed and hired me for a position on the bond desk at Midland Walwyn. I remember so clearly how important 'team' was to him, and how much he spoke to having built an amazing group (and it was indeed an all-star cast) and how this would help shape a young career in more ways than just calling markets. He was so right. He often referred to me as 'Haddy' or 'Louie' and no matter who you were, his greatness brought out the best in your abilities, everyone's abilities, and this was the foundation behind that amazing 'team' Jimmy was a key architect of.
I lost contact with Jim over the last number of years, but I've never forgotten the values and principles I learned through him. I use this with my own team now, and I'm sure I'm not alone. I was really blessed to have crossed paths.
Rest in peace Jim, legends are always remembered!
Mark Hadden

I worked with Jimmy on the Midland Walwyn Bond desk in the late 90s for a couple years but stayed friends with him till the end. Jimmy was smart, a team leader, honest and insanely loyal. I don’t think Jim had an enemy in an industry where that was hard to do.
Our small business group were the underdogs on Bay Street and accomplished a lot and laughed our asses off along the way. We would go for “scoops” ( Jimmy talk for drinks) after work and reminisce the day, strategize tomorrow and bullshit about everything. To this day I have 20 Jimmy stories rattling around in my head that will keep him in my heart forever.
I’m so sad to have lost a great friend but so happy and enriched for having known him. Truly a legend.
My condolences to friends and family
