I first met Jim at Sackville
I first met Jim at Sackville Downs in 1963, he was stabled in my Father's barn with Meadow Don who he brought from NY to race in the BC Cruckshanks memorial while working for "Bud Gilmour", which he won. He was also the banker for us younger guys a few years later when I was at Roosevelt Raceway. A great guy.
My condolences go out to Jim's family. RIP.
