Jim was a butcher for over 50 years. Jim began his journey at Sutton IGA and eventually retired from Reid's ValuMart. Throughout work life and retirement, he built many special friendships. He was always the first one to lend a helping hand for his friends, family and neighbors. He was a long time Boston Bruins and Toronto Blue Jays fan, and he had a passion for woodworking. He loved life and was full of happiness and laughter.

Above all, Jim cherished his grand children. He was so proud of their accomplishments and loved them with all of his heart. From his friends at card nights, to his "breakfast buddies" and from all his Family, Jim/Dad, you are forever loved, and you will be deeply missed by all of us.

Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life for Jim will be held at a later date.
