In Loving Memory After making sure his grandchildren could say goodbye, Jim passed away peacefully, at Oshawa General Hospital while holding hands with the love of his life, Barbara, and family by his side on May 29, 2024.

Born and raised in East York, Toronto, Jim attended St. Michael's College High School and the University of Toronto.

Jim met his soulmate, Barbara, as a teenager while leading horseback riding excursions through the Don Valley.

They were together through almost 66 years of marriage. Jim had a long career with the Scarborough Board of Education as a teacher and principal before finishing his career at Birchmount C.I.

After retiring from education, Jim went on to purchase a farm in north Oshawa, where he could fully enjoy his horses. The family would like to thank the amazing staff at Sunnybrook and Lakeridge Health Network for their wonderful and compassionate care over the last few years.
