What a shock! Jim was a great man and surveyor, taken way too soon. He will be sorely missed. Condolences to Jaime and the rest of his family.

A great mentor and leader in the surveying profession. Prayers for the Gillis family🙏 Jim will be missed!

Devastating news indeed. Jim was a longtime friend and colleague, always with a positive attitude, fun stories to share, and some good scotch. He left us too abruptly and much too soon. Rest in Peace Jim, we will miss you friend. And to his family, Flora, Jamie, Andrew, Breton and extended others, I am sorry for your loss. 💔
