Sincere condolences to Jim’s immediate and extended family. You will be missed greatly.
On behalf of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Water Pipelines, we were deeply saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. Jim was a big part of our Annual Seminar held each December in Saskatoon. He was very positive and friendly. We will truly miss him.
Condolences to the Heinbigner family, sorry to hear of Jim’s passing ,remember Jim, as a young boy, from Venice school. Rest In Peace Jim!
My thoughts and prayers to Jim’s family and friends. It is still a shock to hear of Jim’s passing. I will miss our conversations and jokes. Jim enjoyed cooking for his family and was proud when he told you what meal he had prepared. Those meals will be surely missed. His love of family came across when he spoke of his daughters and grandkids. Jim was a 1st responder and firefighter and it was in his heart to help others. ‘’’Big Jim” as we called him was a teddy bear deep down. Jim was the only man I met that liked marmalade. Jim was excited to tell you about his cruise to Alaska and show you the pictures he took. I’m glad he went on that cruise and took time to relax. As we talked about retirement I believe it was Jim’s drive and want to help others that he never fully retired. The good lord had other plans for you Jim. You are now fully retired in the most beautiful place, reunited with your family who has gone before you. It will be sad and at the same time odd not to see you walk in as you have done for the last 6 years but I know you now have your well deserved rest. I am Thankful, Grateful and Blessed to have met you. As always “See you later Archie”.
Our deepest sympathy Nicole and Megan on the loss of your father. Also to the Heinbigner family on the loss of your brother. We spent lots of time with your mom and dad. We have many fond memories of them. Rest In Peace.
I am so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. My deepest condolences to the family. Those of us who knew him since our youth will remember him as a nice guy – a kind, good man.
Our deepest sympathy to the family. Have fond memories of working and playing hockey with Jim. Sincerely Mike & Lois Doherty
Our sincere condolences to the girls and to Jim’s family. I have so many good memories of our high school days and of meeting up with Jim and Lorie at social functions in later years. Rest in peace Jim.
Sending my sincere and deepest condolences to the entire family. Jim had such a positive and encouraging attitude whenever you met him.
May you find comfort in all your special memories, knowing how much he cared and was appreciated by all who knew him.
Blessings.
Heiny (as I knew him) was one of the kindest guys a person could know with a great sense of humour and a huge laugh to go with it. I am so saddened to hear of his passing and send hugs and my deepest condolences to all of you.
So sorry for your loss. I remember going to school with Jim and our families visiting on Sunday afternoons at the Heinbigner farm. Glad I got to speak with him the odd time while passing through Hague in recent years
So sorry for your loss, girls. He was such a big part of everyone’s life in Hague. I’ve know Jim since we both worked for my Dad when I was 18 and always enjoyed his company but what impressed me most was when Eric’s Dad was struggling with Alzheimer’s and was running away all the time. Your Dad was always looking out for him and letting us know where he was. He was such a guardian angel for Dad those years. I know that God put him in that place for us at that time. Praying for God’s comfort for you and your families
Our sincere condolences to the family and friends. R.I.P Jim

Our condolences to you and your families. Will always remember the good times we had growing up. Jim and Lorie are now together. Lovingly looking down and watching their family from heaven.
Our deepest condolences Nicole & Meagan.
Our sympathies also to Jim’s family.
Sorry for your loss. I went to school with your dad in Hague. Only ran into him briefly in Hague from time to time but enjoyable talking memories with him. He was a caring person and always had a beautiful smile on his face.
I am so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. I remember him well from the years I worked in Hague. Always so positive and friendly. He will be missed
Rest in Peace Jim! You have been a very good hard working man, who has been very lonely I’m sure, but never complained,you worked day & night for many years. Glad your pain is gone. Rest with the Lord.
Condolences to your girls and your family!
