James "Jim" Craig

Jim was born in the Camden area of London, England on March 12, 1948 to Thomas and Gilda Craig. Jim was the eldest of five children: David (deceased), Peter, Allan and Elizabeth. The family emigrated to Toronto in 1957, but returned to England in 1962. Jim, who was 14 years old at that time, couldn’t really settle in England, and returned permanently to Canada in 1966 at the age of 18.

Jim thrived here and qualified as a chartered accountant. After working with several different companies, he started his own business in 1976. His company provided accounting, bookkeeping, consulting and taxation services to many small businesses in the GTA. Because of his good nature, dedication and honest character, many co-workers and clients became his friends. Sadly, Jim began to suffer with health problems 10 years ago, and his health continued to deteriorate gradually.

Jim passed away on Thursday, February 13, 2020. He will always be remembered for his commitment to his family and friends, as well as his courtesies to his clients. Jim will be greatly missed.

Funeral services will be held at Thompson Funeral Home, 530 Industrial Parkway South, Aurora on Saturday, February 22, 2020, with Visitation at 1 pm and Memorial Service at 2 pm.
