So very sorry to hear. Heartfelt consoldences to his family. Jim was an amazing human who gave so much to all of us and his passions inspired so many of us.
I am so sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. I met Jim at the Complex Chronic Diseases Program. We worked together on the Community Advisory Committee. He was a worrier for Lyme disease and I respected him for that.
Condolences to his family and all that befriended him.

When my brother Jim and family visited us here in Nova Scotia he would receive calls from all over and many times it would from someone who lived not far away, he would spend time leading them to the proper resources and give them reassurance. He was a caring person and went out of his way to help others
This is a shock and a very sad day! Jim Wilson as President of Can Lyme and Janet Sperling as well, were the sound of hope on the telephone for me in giving me the first treatment ideas and first way through this storm of Lyme diseases! Prayers will be sent. Compassionate love, Janet Nattress, Saskatoon
I am so sorry to hear, I remember Jim as such a strong leader, passionate, brilliant and committed to helping all of those people around him who suffered. What a remarkable human being who we have lost way too early. Anne xx
