1936-2017
Hodge – In memory of
James Thomas “Jim” Hodge, aged 81 years, who passed
away on Saturday, August 19, 2017, at the
Prince County Hospital, Summerside. Jim
is survived by his wife Daphne (Hutchings) Hodge; and his children
Jamie and Tim. Born in Savage Cove, on Newfoundland’s North
Shore, to James Thomas Hodge and Elizabeth Williams, he was the
youngest of five children. At the death of his father, his
mother took the five small children to the Sir Wilfred Grenfell
Orphanage in St. Anthony where she later became the leader, and
remained there until all 5 children graduated from high school. Jim
then attended Mount Allison University and later Memorial University
in St. John’s, where he and Daphne graduated with bachelor
degrees in Arts and Education and then went on to build careers as
school teachers. Jim and Daphne later moved to Summerside, where they
taught school and raised their two children. The oldest,
Jamie, lives in Ottawa, and Tim lives in Calgary with his wife Tanya
and two children Matthew and Sarah. Jim taught at S.I.S., K.I.S.H. and
T.O.S.H. He retired early due to ill health but continued
his involvement in Trinity United Church, where he was a member of the
choir. His solos, especially “Holy Night”
were enjoyed by the congregation throughout the years. He
will always be missed on Christmas Eve when people yearn to hear that
voice again. He was a member of the YMCA for many years,
where he especially loved the meals with friends. Jim also leaves to
mourn, his brother Fred (Joan). He was predeceased by his
two brothers Stanley and Clayton and his sister Cinderella. Visiting
hours will be held at the Moase Funeral Home, Summerside, on Tuesday
evening from 7-9 p.m. A memorial service will be held at Trinity
