It is with heavy hearts that we, the family, announce the peaceful passing of James
Joseph ‘Jim’ Small, age 75, on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 at home.
Born in Alliston, ON, he was a son of the late William Gregory ‘Greg’ and Patricia
(McDevitt) Small.
Jim was an avid sports fan who enjoyed watching baseball, hockey and curling,
among others; his favourite teams being the Blue Jays and Maple Leafs. He enjoyed
gardening, the beach, playing cards, curling and spending time with his
grandchildren, whom he loved dearly. He was a very gentle and kind man who was
always there to lend a helping hand to those in need. Jim was employed with The
Cape Breton County, currently CBRM, as CIO; then London Life as a financial advisor,
where he excelled, until his retirement.
Surviving are his wife, Theresa (MacDonald), Benacadie; daughter, Jessie (Joshua),
Ottawa; son, Francis (Ashley), River Ryan; brother, Leo (Marie); sisters, Rosemary
(Francis) Sheehan and Margie Bechtloff; grandchildren, Abagail, Isabella, Gabriel,
Gianna, Rosa, Kolbe and Elijah, Ben, Max, Aiden and Avaiah.
Besides his parents, Jim was predeceased by brothers, Bill, Frank and Bernie;
brother-in-law, Heinz Bechtloff.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation for Jim will be held on Thursday, May 18 from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm, followed by a funeral Mass, all in St. Columba Church, Iona. A reception will be held at the Christmas Island Fire Hall immediately following the mass.
Donations in his memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a
