I've been friends with jamie for as long as i've been racing. I used to call him "hoodlum". Jamie was best friends with my long time crew guy Lyndon Paradis and that's how i got to know him. Later on we worked together at Cowan Pontiac Buick in Bowmanville. I sponsored his thunder car back in the day, part of the deal was that i'd buy him and his guys a case of beer every time he won all three races, after the fourth week in a row i told him to buy his own beer as he's breaking me, lol. Jamie and Jo had a business in Peterborough, Auto Fitness, where we would go visit him and just shoot the bull. I had my race car in there a few times to fix some stuff when we didn't have time to take it home, long weekends and stuff like that. Lyndon called me a few days ago and told me the bad news. Jamie will be missed. I've read some of the stories here and it's heart breaking. If Jamie is on that beach, I'm sure Calvert is sitting there with him. We will miss our buddies.
