I knew Jim professionally for the last 5 years and was one of my favorite "trades" I could always hear his smile when he answered the phone and he always managed to make me smile and brighten my day. He was a big teddy bear who I could always count on to help my clients out and make them feel comfortable and confident in any repair or remodel he was doing for them. He was a man of integrity, honesty and good humour. He will be sadly missed. My condolences to his family. RIP Jim, we'll miss you!

Oh Jimbo...we are so very sad that your life had to end so soon. You touched many peoples lives and we  are blessed that you were a part of ours. We have a treasure chest of memories that we will cherish forever. Your bright smile and big bear hugs will remain vivid in our minds and hearts. Don't raise too much trouble up there big guy!

Our hearts are filled with sadness and sympathy for Jim's family and anyone who was a part of his life. Family is precious and Jim loved family. Not only was he a good friend to many, he always took the time to know your entire family. I will remember him as Jimbo, a big teddy bear guy who liked to fix things, (not just toilets and pipes), but anything even cars and broken hearts. He was always there to celebrate life events or help with any crisis big or small. We shared so many good times,  Mt. Vernon, Lumby, Lake Erroch, Las Vegas, Tulameen, Whistler, camping, baseball, volleyball (Firemen's Club), wallyball (Burnaby racquet club), weddings, birthdays, New Year's, Jim loved a good party. We will never forget Jim's beautiful bright smile and his charming sense of humor. He will be missed.

I knew Jim for 10 years professionally and as a personal friend for the last 6. I respected his honesty, his work ethic and his kindness. I could always count on him, whether it be a burst pipe on Superbowl Sunday or to share his laugh over a highly inappropriate joke. He enriched my life and I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers and deepest sympathy goes to all his loved ones.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Laing family on the loss of their Son,Brother and Uncle Jim. Having lived next to Jim for close to 10 years I can certainly tell you Jim was not only a good neighbour but was also a good friend to my family and I.I can't feel the pain of loss as you do as family but I do feel the pain of loss of a person that I chose to be friends with . Jim was always there for us to lend a helping hand when we were in need . He was always good Pal to my children supporting them in fund raising efforts and just plain treating them as friends .Jim's some what tough demeaner far from portrayed the side of him which I'm sure all his friends knew as a loyal ,trustworthy and giving friend. 
My life has been better for having Jim as a friend . I will keep his friendly wave and "how's it going" from over the fence in my memory for as long as possible.I'll miss Jim.
I wish your grief to pass quickly.
