Peacefully and surrounded by family members by his side. Jim will join his loving wife of 62 years, Doreen. Jim will be deeply missed by his sons Ken and wife Sandra, Jeff and wife Kerry, Grandchildren Benjamin and wife Roe, Carlie and husband Will, James and wife Alex and Great Grandchildren James and Raina. He had a love of aircraft from childhood. Always building and flying model airplanes. Even building a full size aircraft in his garage. When Dad introduced our Mom to his parents Bill and Eva and sister Eleanor, his Mom said to Doreen, “He’s plane crazy, and you can spell it either way.” Always a tradesman beginning with OTIS elevators, he could build or fix anything and do it well. Jim would always have friends and family over for get togethers. Laughter, food and drink and more laughter. He had an infectious smile that would warm your heart and make you feel welcome. The family would like to thank ALL the staff and Dr. Brault and Dr. Lund for their kindness and compassion. Dad in fact said just that many times during his stay and to tell them. Memorial donations may be made to the Diabetes Association or M.S Society.
