JAMES MCCOMB Tragically and with my heart breaking, I lost my lover, my soul mate, my life on Monday, June 6, 2011. Samantha, Stacie with husband Adam, and Michael with wife Sarah lost the most precious, incredible dad any child could have asked for. Dear Sebastian lost the kindest, most patient grandpa who together shared the passion of martial arts and watching Star Wars movies. Finally, there is Molly Dog, Jim's constant companion. She circles and sits waiting for his return. Missing Jim profoundly with heavy hearts are his in-laws, which he affectionately called his own mom and dad, Herta and Karl-Heinz Piehl, sister-in-law Rita Derwin, his sister Kerry Lowe of Lethbridge along with her family - husband Don, daughters Kaitlin and Karly, his sister Jacqueline Malic along with husband Glenn and Melissa McComb of Thunder Bay. Passed on before Jim was his beloved Grandma Amy, who Jim resided with at a young age and both shared a special, loving bond.

The value of retail sales in March was flat at $37.3 billion but after removing the effects of price changes, particularly higher food and gasoline prices, retail sales volume slipped 0.8 per cent, according to a Statistics Canada report Friday. "That marks four months of stagnant sales, suggesting that consumers are struggling with higher gasoline prices and food costs eating into fixed budgets," CIBC economist Emanuella Enenajor said in a report. Consumers appear to be reining in spending after a post-recession spree that saw some Canadians' rack up high levels of debt — prompting warnings from government and bank officials against people spending beyond their means.
