In life, Jim suffered the loss of his first wife Betty Lou (nee Campbell), his parents Matti and Florence, his brother Ken and his sister Nancy.
Jim worked for Timmins Transit for over 25 years. Sharing his jokes, stories and poems with any patron that would listen. In his retirement, Jim lived life to the fullest, hunting, fishing, camping and travelling to visit family and friends. He was always looking forward to the fall to go hunting with the gang. He documented his life’s story through poetry, he always wanted to pass on his life’s work for all to see. Jim would want everyone he touched to drink a beer and remember the good times. May he rest in peace.
