James Conrad (Jim/Duke) Webster
It is with profound sadness our family shares the passing of James “Jim/Duke” Webster suddenly at his home in Capreol on May 1, 2020. Jim was Only 79, but has joined his beloved Christine Webster (predeceased 2004), his best friend and wife of 43 years. Jim was a supportive and loving husband, father, and grandfather who adored his family and the Toronto Maple Leafs equally. There may have been the odd day when the scales tipped in the Leaf’s favour. Jim enjoyed engaging in conversations with friends and neighbours and always had a story to share. He took great pride in his home and lawn where the grass was manicuredwith a level and scissors. He looked forward to his adventures and excursions with family and could spend hours shopping with grandkids. He was an avid dancer with moves for days and a singing voice that entertained the family. Jim was fortunate to have found love and life with Carolyn Fortin for the last 12 years, even during hockey season. Jim was born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario October 9, 1940 son of James and Rita, brother to Daniel and Jackie (predeceased). He married Christine Olive Yaworski, the love of his life, in Kirkland Lake in 1960 and the journey began. His career involved policing and the gas industry where he retired from in 1999. His family will be eternally grateful for his legacy of love include his four children Lorrie (Paul) Sabourin, Wendi (Dale) MacCormack, Lisa (Robert) Smith, and Jamie (Amanda); his grandchildren Jennifer (Gilles) Paul, Amanda (Brenton) Dukeshire, Jesse (Natalie) Hawrelluk, Joel (Cassy) Hawrelluk, Joshua (Natalie) Webster, Kylee (Ken) MacCormack, and Cassidy Smith; and his great grandchildren Emma, Maxine, Benjamin, Jaxen, Taryn, Tanner, Robyn, Mackena, Mya, Cameron, Abel, Luca, Nova, Nathan, Natalia, Noah, Nolan and baby Hawrelluk arriving in June. Although his passing brings a tremendous loss for all, we find comfort and solace in his reuniting with our Mom and will be laid to rest with her in Kirkland Lake. We share with you the message that hangs in his kitchen-Live Well, Laugh Often, and Love Much especially in these challenging times. There will be a celebration of life at a later date. The family would like to thank the Paramedics, Police Officers and neighbors for their compassion and support. In Jim’s memory and in lieu of flowers, donations to Health Sciences North Foundation would be appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to the Cooperative Funeral Home, Sudbury.
