Jim was a prominent businessman in the East End of St John’s as owner/operator of King’s Bridge Service Station Co. Ltd., established in 1941. He worked alongside his father, Harry and then with his son, Gerry and was proud of his continued legacy with his son, Andy and grandson, Gerry Jr. joining the business.
Colloquially known as the “King” of King’s Bridge, Jim was known for his trademark cigar and kindness to his customers, he will be greatly missed on “the Bridge”. Go rest easy in that Fair Haven where the fish are surely biting.
