HERR, JAMES EDWARD
(May 06, 1934 – Nov. 27, 2021)
Jim Herr leaves a legacy of good deeds, joy & friendships. He’s lovingly remembered by his wife of 64 years, Helen; daughters Heather Rutz (Rob), Shelley Leedahl (Peter) & Crystal Herrod (Warren); sister Doreen Friesen (Irvin); grandchildren Logan, Taylor, Landis, Tanner, Jacquelyn, Brandon, Jenna & Henry; & 7 great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents Michael & Selma; brother Jack; and his sons Kirby Herr & Ron Meetoos. Dad was a character. Selfless, & dearly loved. He was a well-revered Co-op General Manager in Kyle, Wilkie, Turtleford and Meadow Lake. He also managed a store on the Ochapowace First Nation. His passions included community, golf, card games, the Roughriders, singing, telling jokes & organizing events. He volunteered on many committees and was recognized as the Citizen of the Year (Watrous) in 2010. We enjoyed our family cabin at Greig Lake for decades. After Dad’s retirement he & Mom lived in Broadview, Birch Hills, Melfort, Manitou Beach & Watrous. Dad was the eternal optimist. He made many lives brighter & will be eminently missed. What a wonderful world it was with you, Dad. Thanks to the Watrous Hospital & Craik & District Health Centre. A Celebration of Jim’s Life will be held at Watrous United Church, Watrous, SK on December 4, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. For those so wishing, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations to Watrous & District Food Bank or Watrous United Church would be appreciated.
