Jim (a.k.a. JF) worked as a Cable Repair Technician/manager at Bell Canada for 33 years, retiring in 1988.

Jim was known for his sense of humour, his passion for story-telling and his ability to entertain and hold an audience. Jim was an avid sports fan and a passionate Leafs and Jays fan. He loved reading mysteries, eating buffet food and playing poker. He also loved comedy and was up on the dance floor when the music started to play.

He will be especially missed by his many friends and family in Canada and the USA, especially in Sarasota, Florida.
