I am very sorry to hear of Jims passing. I first met Jim when he worked at Haultain ESSO. I was reacquainted with Jim out on Vancouver Island when he traveled with the Saskatoon team of old timers hockey players. All that met Jim would agree that he was a wonderful man. I will always have fond memeries of Jim his wife and his family. All the Best to Jims family and friends. He will be missed.

Our family lived next door to Jim for many years, and their family gives true meaning to the words "good neighbours". You could always rely on them to keep an eye on things if we were away, or a door to knock on for any help. We remember Jim being very involved in many sports and more than willing to share this knowledge. He took exceptional pride in his vehicles, and other peoples's vehicles he serviced at where he worked.
Unfortunately we haven't seen McGunigals for awhile, but was truly saddened to hear of his passing
