James McCorkindale
1951-2020
McCorkindale, James
Passed away in peace at Guelph General Hospital in his 69th
year on Monday, August 31, 2020. Jim
shared a long marriage, estranged partnership and many adventures with
the mother of his daughters, Linda McCorkindale. He is
further survived by his daughters, Shawndra (Maria) McCorkindale and
Carrie James, his grandchildren, Jesse James and Brandon James, and
his brothers, Bob (Erin), Neil (Valerie) and Bill McCorkindale. His
mother-in-law Ida Merkley, and in laws Frank Merkley (Kim), Donna
Foran (Mike), Ray Merkley (Valerie), Jerry Speers, and many Nieces and
Nephews. He is predeceased by his parents Dr. William McCorkindale and
Agnes McCorkindale sister Faye Cherry, and father-in-law Dave Merkley
(Ida), sisters in law Linda McCorkindale (Bill) and Carol Speers
(Jerry).
The family would like to thank the nurses at the
dialysis unit at Guelph Renal Clinic and Dr. Freedman for their care
over the last two years. Jim had nothing but good things to say about
his time spent at the Guelph Clinic, and even busted out of the
hospital with a broken foot just so he could go the Guelph Clinic
rather than go to the Kitchener Clinic by ambulance. Special
thanks to Dr. Christine Vogel and her assistant Merilla, Jim had a
long relationship with and fondness for both of you. May his time
spent with you only bring back good laughs.
Jim packed a lot of living into his years with business
adventures, travel adventures, renovations experiences, artistic
endevours, some good and some not so much but always with full
enthusiasm. The four canine friends Jim had in his lifetime
were truly his best friends, Patches, Sam, Byron and
Simon.
All who knew him or crossed paths with him will have a story
to tell, some good and some not so much! Jim will be missed
by many whose lives became boring without his presence.
At Jim’s request, cremation has taken place and a
private graveside service will be held at Woodlawn Memorial
Park. If desired, memorial contributions to the Foundation
of Guelph General Hospital-Dialysis Unit would be
appreciated.
May you all find peace in your hearts knowing that
Jim’s wishes were carried out as he
specified.
