My sister, Sharon Arthurs, and brothers, Peter, David and Dan Estabrooks , and I, send our condolences to the family of Jimmy Humphrey. Our maternal grandmother , Edith Buckle (Humphrey) and Stanley , Jimmy's Dad, were brother and sister. So I guess that makes us Jimmy's second cousins? Anyway, I remember Grammy, Mum and Dad and us as kids piling into our car and going over to Water Street to visit Alice and Stanley many times. The house was always full of kids and love , so we really enjoyed the visits. Jimmy would be coming in from fishing with his Dad and we would usually leave with a fresh caught shad during the shad season or sometimes a Saint John Harbour salmon. Can't get those anymore ! Anyhow, Sharon, about 11 years old, and me about 13, had the biggest crush on Jimmy, (he was about 15 or 16). He was such a handsome lad! I think the last time I saw Jimmy was in 2006 at the funeral parlor when Mum (Venie Estabrooks) died. I know you will all have precious memories of your Dad, Grandpa and Great grandpa to help you get through this loss.
