Pam,
I am so sorry for your loss. I’m a past Casco employee from the Etobicoke office. Jim was a good man, heart of gold and a great sense of humour who has been taken from us much too soon. At least now he is free of his pain. Sending my condolences to you, Nigel and Colin.

-Denise Board

Pam and Doug I was so sad to hear of Jim's passing I will always remember his smile at the Ridge cartbarn.

-John Wesley

Pam and family,
Jim joined the Ontario Soybean Growers as General Manager while I served as Chair of the Board. I was fortunate to have Jim as a mentor and a colleague during his time as GM. As time passed and we each went our separate ways in the ag industry, we were able to stay in touch and catch up every now and then. I cherish those conversations and I can reflect on what a positive influence Jim has had on me personally and the entire ag industry. Condolences to you, your family and close friends. He will be missed.

-Greg Devries

Pam, Colin and Nigel, sincere condolences from myself and the NAC family. We had a wonderful relationship with Jim throughout the years working together on the IGPC projects. The last time I saw Jim was at the Ridge of Manitou, he was his usual happy self enjoying the day, he will be missed.

It's with shock and sadness to hear about this. I've been lucky to count Jim as a second father in my life, and I'll always have many fond memories of times with Jim keeping us boys in-line. Most sincere condolences to the Grey's. Jim will be missed, but never forgotten.
