Jimmy Rector from Aurora Concrete Pumping from Newmarket Ontario passed away suddenly last evening at Home. He will certainly be missed a great individual a great friend

All my prayers are with you Jimmy

R.I.P.

jimmy was the best boss and friend worked for jimmy for 10 wonderfull years!!!!!!!!!!!! Dave the Frenchmen.

Jimmy was perhaps the most honorable man I've ever met in my life. I had a concrete pumping business that went sour two reccesions ago. I lost my shirt, I went to work for Jimmy briefly.

I had a lot of customers who wanted my service, but I was broke, and had nothing, no pump, no money. Jimmy turned to me and said: take that old 31m, and go back into business. I said: Jim, I don't have any money for a down payment. He said: don't worry, just take my pump, go get your customers back, and we'll work out the details later.

We never put anything on paper; he put complete trust in me, and, at the time, the pump was probably worth $200K. No down payment, no contract; a handshake and a smile.

Without Jimmy I probably would have ended up as a Walmart greeter.

Thanks to him, and JJ, I was able to raise my family, keep my house, and live a decent life.

Without the faith that Jimmy showed in me, I would be half the man that I am today.

I once asked Jimmy about how he felt about helping so many people including his competition, and he said "I don't expect to get rich, but, I'm hoping for a pretty good turnout at my funeral"

I'll be there tommorrow!

The world would be a much better place if that were the true measure of a person.

Nice touching words Ron,sorry for every ones loss. may he rest in peace knowing he left such a wonderful feeling with all the people's lives he touched.

  Jimmy loved to help and teach.  Whenever I called for advice or information or specialty tools, his answer was always the same and I quote, Everything I have is yours to use son.  Brings a tear to my eye that we all have lost someone that selfless.  That silly grin and twinkle in your eye will be sorely missed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. He sounded like an outstanding man. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
