In an obituary he wrote for the Vancouver Sun, First District International Representative Laird Cronk said, "Jim led an extraordinary life, including circumnavigating the world on HMCS Haida and transiting the Northwest Passage on icebreaker HMCS Labrador, all before the age of 21! Jim then spent 30 outstanding years working in the labour movement."
