Jim Moore was good friend and a good man. I've known him for 36 years...I could write a book about our friendship that would make you laugh out loud, cry and say to yourself 'Yeah, that's Jim alright.'

He was sharp and quick witted in a genuinely funny way. When it came to quips and one liners, it was hard to keep up with him. But when it was time to get serious, he was there as well...He and Chris Beyette were there when I was at my worse and made things a little bit better...That turns a friendship into a brotherhood.

I always tried to be there for him, because I knew he'd do the same in a moment's notice. He was stronger than me emotionally in every way, with a giving heart and a genuine soul. He was the type of man I wish I was man enough to be...

My condolences to the family, friends and anyone who had the privilege of this man's friendship and love.

I dated Jim for a short while when Grace was young (5-6) and Linda was pregnant. Our first date we were driving around when my car just died on the Disraeli bridge. It wouldn't restart and within a minute or two someone stopped by to help. Neither he nor I had a cell phone back then so I borrowed hers and called my dad who advised me to remove the key from the ignition, open the door and try again, which worked! Turned out she was a pastor and gave us her number in case we needed her to perform a marriage ceremony some day lol. Turned out it wasn't needed but that was really the most memorable first date I've ever had.

One time he brought Grace over for a swim as my apartment block had a seasonal outdoor pool. We were sitting poolside and Grace was enjoying the water when I noticed she'd gone too far and was struggling in the deeper end. It really only takes a moment! Well the words had barely left my lips when he did what any parent would do and jumped in shoes and all and helped her out of the pool. Just because any parent would do the same does not discount the fact that he saved Grace's life that day. He truly was a kind (and funny!) guy and I know he will be deeply missed. My condolences to his family and circle of friends.

We are so very sorry for your loss James, Leslie, Perry and others. We had only met Jim a couple of times, but knew him to be funny, non-judgemental and kind. The world needs more Jims.

Wishing you all warmth and healing

I am so very sorry to hear of Jim's sudden passing. I was close friends with Jim's sister, Linda, many years ago and had the pleasure of meeting Jim on several occasions. He was always so kind and friendly, with a quick wit and keen intelligence. He had such a huge heart and dearly loved his family. Sending my deepest condolences to his family , friends, and all who knew and loved him.

Jim and I dated for a year ten years ago. I am shocked and saddened by his sudden passing, Spending time with him and his family James and Linda and his neice and cousins and daugher Grace at holidays are warm memories. Love to all. I have many photo but they are on old laptop but I will see if I can upload some.
