Paulette, Patrick and Gerald, please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Jim, a great husband and father. I can remember meeting Jim for the very first time at the Caribou Road Furniture Store back in the early 1990’s. That meeting, turned into a bond and friendship that has lasted a lifetime. Jim was a man of great integrity, who had a love for the business and an even greater love for his family and his music. Jim treated everyone with respect and he received that same respect back ten fold. I often saw him defuse irate customers and have them leaving a Coleman’s Store happier than they were when they came in. His demeanour was infectious, his smile was warm and his laugh was always reassuring. To have been a part of his life was a privilege. I will forever cherish the hours we spent working together over the years. Jim and I spent a lot of time together and our friendship spanned well beyond the walls of our business relationship. While the stories are too many to mention, rest assured they are forever etched in my memories. May every sign of affection and love you receive during this difficult time, be a sign of the impact Jim Coleman left on the people he touched during his life. God Bless you all and rest in peace, Jim my friend.
