REID, Christopher James Whitelaw On January 11th, 2004 Jamie passed away peacefully at his beloved Cabin in the Cove following a courageous battle with cancer. Born on March 26th, 1952 in Stanley N.B. to Rev. Alex G. Reid and his wife Molly Whitelaw, Jamie is survived by his much-loved wife Judee, his parents, his daughter Lindsay and his son Alexander. Jamie is also remembered by his sister Leslie, brother-in-law Peter, niece Emily and stepchildren Micheal, Marshall and Teal. As a preacher's kid and army brat Jamie moved frequently as a child, living throughout Canada and Germany. He found his roots and took his higher grades in Moffat, Scotland; completing his BA in Psychology at Queens University in 1975. Jamie returned to the west coast in the mid seventies where he worked as a Probation Officer for over 25 years until the time of his illness. During his career at the Ministry of Attorney General Jamie was an active member of the BCGEU. He put great compassion into his profession and deeply cared about helping his clients start anew. He enjoyed anything motorized (on 2 or 4 wheels) and was a proud member of the Blue Knights motorcycling club. Jamie loved photography and had a natural eye for finding beauty in the simplest things. Jamie took great joy in cooking and serving those around his table; he was a true culinary master.
