James (Jim) Dawson
1940-2022
It is with Father’s arms wrapped tightly around Jim
that he has crossed over to join his brother Walter, Annie and his fur
companions Misha, Dixie and Debbie on Thursday November 3rd,
2022.
Born in Moncton, Jim was the son of the late Harry and Sylvia
(Gallant) Dawson.
He is survived by his loving wife Marolyn, his step son
Robert (Mel), sisters Mary-Ann Caldwell and Gloria Pearson (Paul) both
of British Columbia, his sister-in-law Theresa (late Walter), step
grand-children Lilah and Jack as well as nieces and
nephews.
Jim was a proud military man, having served on the Bonnie for
20 years. Many hours have been spent during the last few months
reminiscing of his military career with his good friend Mike
Lesperance who provided enormous support to both Marolyn and Jim
during his illness.
Jim continued his career as an air traffic controller with
ATC spanning over 25 years where he remained until his
retirement. During this time he enjoyed jamming at home with
his best friends who were his co-workers.
He was a kind, gentle, quiet man who had a dry sense of
humour, a twinkle in his eye and a little smirk that would appear when
Marolyn teased him and called him “Papa Dawson”.
He loved her so.
Due to his failing health, the last 3 years have been
challenging ones but many thanks go out to Dr Hudson, Dr Gee and Dr
Tait and his close friends for their wonderful care and
compassion.
A special thank you to the 5th floor Surgical Intensive and
to the Palliative Care Unit of the Moncton Hospital for everything you
have done for Jim, particularly to Michelle McKnight for your guidance
and kindness.
Rest In Peace
Jim. Until we meet again, Love,
Marolyn
