Jim was a talented fiddler… the only one I know who would play from one tune to the other without missing a beat, always leaving us smiling and tapping our toes. I can not say enough about the kindness and support that Jim showed to me when we competed in fiddle contests throughout Ontario. I for one am honoured to have known Jim as a dear friend within the fiddle community. A fiddling kindred spirit.

It was a great privilege to have Jim join our family when he married Donna. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and an important part of our Millen family. It was heart warming to witness the deep love that Jim and Donna shared for over fifty years.
Jim had a great sense of humour and was very dedicated to all the endeavours of his life.
It was difficult to see Jim suffer from poor health in his later years but he accepted it with quiet dignity.
Rest in peace. You will be missed.

Dear Mrs Ross, Cathy and Mark,
heartfelt condolences on the passing of Mr Ross. In recent years, my father enjoyed his chats with Mr Ross at antique and gun shows, as I too enjoyed bumping into you (Mrs Ross) and your husband from time to time in KW. When young, I always found it interesting to meet the parents of school friends. Being with peers all day at school, then meeting their folks, dots would easily connect as to how and why certain classmates acted, thought or behaved as they did. Cathy: growing up, from kindergarten until high school, you were one of the most compassionate, wise, humorous and respectful people I knew. I can still recall, as far back as early primary school, seeing your parents occasionally at school open houses, events and such. Looking back, over all these years, I cannot recall ever having seen your mum without your dad or your dad without your mum, arm in arm. There was a "stability" about them, a calm, a dignity, a safety. It was easy for me to see, even as a child, why you were the wonderful way you were, with such parents mentoring you. Mr Ross will always be continuing to brighten the world as long as you continue to be the bright children he and your mother raised you to be. Patience and peace to your entire family, D. Wharnsby

Dear Donna, Mark, and Cathy,
I am so very sorry to hear about Jim’s passing.
Jim was a wonderful fiddler, and it was an honour to be his teacher later in his life. I truly enjoyed listening to his stories about his early fiddling days, and it was a privilege to be part of his journey when he decided to return to music. Jim loved playing and immersed himself in it — attending workshops, jams, and even competing at the Southwestern Ontario Fiddle and Step Dance Contest in Tavistock. Jim was also a member of my fiddle orchestra and his participation was greatly appreciated. He was a true gentleman - always kind and supportive.
He will be remembered not only for his musicianship, but for his enthusiasm, dedication, and love of the fiddle. I feel grateful to have known him.
Please accept my deepest condolences during this difficult time.
