My Dearest Uncle Jim, It is hard to believe that it has been just over a year since you departed from us so suddenly. It seems like only yesterday that I was speaking with you and sharing a meal together with you. And especially at this time of the year, with Christmas around the corner, and a brand new year on the horizon, I am thinking of you and my mother often. I am also thinking about all of the many summers that we as children spent growing up at the cottage on the French River. Many fond memories were created as a result, and those fond memories are now a big part of what we have become and who we are today. Those fond memories were created, in large part, by you and my mother, and the steadfast love you both showed and shared with each and every one of us along the way.........and they're etched in my mind forevermore. Thank you. Uncle Jim, you are in our deepest thoughts and prayers and we all love you and miss you dearly.......more than you'll ever know. Rest in peace. Love, Deborah, Stephen, Karen, and Sandra

Uncle Jim, You Are Dearly Missed at This Time of Year Uncle Jim, I have thought a lot about you this past year Uncle Jim, but I find it especially difficult at this time of year. It is hard to believe that as of December 3rd, 2019, it has been four long years since we have been without you. It seems like yesterday that you and I were both sitting at your dining room table, enjoying Thanksgiving dinner together, in October of 2015. I will be down to visit your memorial bench along the Rideau Canal and your cenotaph at the Hillcrest Cemetary in the very near future. I may be visiting a few of your old favourite haunts in and around Smiths Falls if I find the time as well. Uncle Jim, I love you and miss you with all of my heart.   Love, Deborah XOXO

Waiting For Uncle Jim You must have been so happy here With a backyard that never ends  And in this natural playground you call home The birch and red pine are oh so plentiful And the whip poor will is down in the glen And with everything that you hold dear It seems like yesterday That you were here When everything felt so fine  And the air was oh so clear But it's only a microsecond in time That we all got swept away somehow As the soft summer breezes Sweep briskly through the air And the red  window frames Flap without a care And children's voices laughing And playing in the sun And I can hear you coming now And onto the red deck you fall As kisses abound And you're smiling As they go all around And everyone's happy and full of cheer Because you're finally here And by our side And with our mother dearest you will stay As we all go out to play And with each and every day that goes by And every year that you were here Life was so precious And we held you oh so dear Yes we held you oh so dear And everything is fine now And I want you to know That I love you and God will be with you  Wherever you go                                                                                                                              Deborah Suzanne Martyn.

A Ride In Your Volkswagen My Dearest Uncle Jim, It has been one year since you left us all. I can still hear the rat tat tat of your cool volkswagen as you raced along the dirt roads of the French River and everywhere else you went.......it was the first time that someone actually allowed me behind the steering wheel of a real vehicle.......I was about eight or nine years old when you allowed me an attempt at driving your precious bug and I got behind the wheel on our way back from the trading post.......and away we went along the dirt roads......laughing all the way.........boy, did we have fun and how !.........good thing my mother knew nothing about this........but I'll always remember this special time with you......it is embedded into my chilhood and memory forever and I'll never forget it. I love you and miss you, Uncle Jim. Deborah

Always ready to help In 1967 Jim came to my rescue on the French River.  I was spending the summer at our family cottage.  We had been pulling out old logs that had floated into our beach.  One of the logs had several long nails sticking out.  Running around and not paying attention, I stepped on the log and two nails went through my foot.  My Mom was on her own with four kids and no car.  She sent my sister to get Jim.  He came immediately, carried me up the road to his car, drove me to town and ensured that I got a Tetanus shot.  He was a real life saver.   Thank you Jim.
