Jimmy passed away peacefully in his sleep at Mount St. Mary’s Hospital on December 13, 2017. He is survived by his wife and trusted partner, Mary after 65 years of marriage. He is also survived by his son, Gerald (Elizabeth); daughter, Christine and grandchildren, Arran and Breanna. He will also be missed by his sisters, Rose, Mary and Kathleen and their families and his brother, Charles.
Since emigrating to Canada in 1967, he followed his love of soccer as a director and board member of L.I.Y.S.A./V.I.S.L.B.C. Youth, BC Soccer and the CSA. Many friends and acquaintances will miss the hospitality and dedication Jimmy brought to all his endeavours in soccer and in his time with the public service. After retiring, Jimmy continued to indulge his love of golf and travel with Mary to many places in the UK and Europe always in pursuit of the best cream cake.
The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Mike Miles and the caregivers and volunteers at Mount St. Mary’s Hospital for all their part in making Jimmy’s days comfortable and fulfilling.
A Memorial Mass will take place at St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Blanshard at View Street in Victoria on Wednesday, January 31, 2018 at 12 Noon with a reception to follow. Jimmy’s family has asked that in lieu of flowers any donations be made to Mount St. Mary’s Hospital, 861 Fairfield Road, Victoria, BC V8V 5A9. Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Jim was a very special man that will be missed by so many. The countless volunteer hours he put into the game at all level was incredible and meant so much to so many of us. I personally have Jim to thank for getting me as a BC u-18 and National Youth Player to Vancouver weekend after weekend so I could train and play on the team. He was such a joy to talk to then and up to my last visit with him in homecare. Like any good servant he did things with such humility and no fanfare. My sincere condolences to the Spencer family. Until we meet again my good friend.
