Aug. 3, 1941 - Oct. 25, 2015
Jim passed away peacefully Oct. 25 in hospital in White Rock, B.C. at the age of 74 with family and friends at his side.
Born in Edmonton, he is predeceased by his mother Helen, father Ches and sister Cathie.
He survived by his wife Tammy and four sons he was intensely proud of: Patrick (Sheila), Terry (Christine), Jeffrey (Joeline) and Ryan (Blake). Grandchildren Jaimie, Reilly, Heather, Aidan, Owen and James will miss him.
He is also survived by sister Sheila and brother Rod.
Despite health challenges that could have slowed him down, Jim was a strong and passionate man who lived life to the fullest. His spirit, stories and memories live on in his sons and grandkids.
Special thanks to Pam and Bambi, who cared for him in his final years and to the staff and volunteers at Peace Arch Hospital who provided such compassion in Jim's last days.
As requested, there will be no formal service. In lieu of flowers, Jim's family suggests donations be made to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (www.michaeljfox.org).
