Loving father of Darin and his wife Chris and Duane and his wife Susanne. Jim was a very special grandpa to James (Angie), Shelley, Hudson and Nolan. Great-grandfather to Mason.

Jim served his country in the Royal Canadian Navy based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia and was proud to be recognized as a veteran.

He will be dearly missed by extended family, many friends and former colleagues. Our family would like to thank the staff at the Brantford General Hospital who were wonderful and went above and beyond to take care of our father and husband.
