JAMES DAVID EGGIE (JIM)

Condolences & Memories (15 entries)

• I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I worked with Jim for many years at the Bank of Montreal, and we have kept in touch and maintained our friendship for over 50 years. Jim was part of our retired banker's breakfast group, and always had some interesting information to contribute, whether it related to sports, business, or people that we have known for a lifetime. Jim, we will miss you my friend. My sincere condolences to the Eggie and Read families. - Posted by: Wally Schmidt (Friend) on: Sep 27, 2022

• The news of Jim's sudden passing is very shocking. It can't be much more than a month ago when I sat across the table at Smitty's and chatted with Jim and had a hockey question or a stock market investment question that needed his knowledgeable response. My introduction a few years ago to Jim was through a retired bank manager neighbor plus another retired former bank manager friend who graciously included me, a non-banker, into their regular Smitty's retired bank executive group. Jim and I had some common bonds being cottage owners and loving sports. My impression of Jim, as so well highlighted in the obituary, was of a quiet, personable and very knowledgeable gentleman who entered the conversations only when he had something to contribute. Jim was an encyclopedia of sports news --- always knowing the details behind the sporting story. Jim passed away much too soon, and his presence will be sorely missed at our breakfasts. My condolences to the Eggie family! May our good Lord give you strength, comfort and understanding during this time of sorrow. R.I.P. Jim. Ronald (Ron) Smith - Posted by: Ronald (Ron) S.

• The Margaret Boone family is very saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. Our mom, Margaret, was a close neighbour when living on the third floor of the Brantford Estate on St. Anne’s Rd. Indeed, Jim was very supportive to our mom. We also enjoyed and felt privileged to meet Jim. My mom was always grateful and enjoyed his company when visiting her in the hospital or at the care home. She reciprocated his kindness by sending baking or the occasional meal his way. Our mom is now 98 going on 99. Unfortunately at this time she would have difficulty remembering Jim. But somewhere in her heart and soul she holds fond and loving memories of Jim Eggie. - Posted by: Margaret Boone & Family (Former Neighbour & Friend) on: Sep 14, 2022

• I met Jim in 1974 when I went to work evenings at Main Office. He was the nicest individual. As his obituary says he was thoughtful, kind and always concerned about others. He also had a great sense of humour and enjoyed having a good time when it came along. I’m saddened to hear of his passing. He was a great human being and I’m glad I had the privilege of knowing him. Condolences to his family. - Posted by: Gale Carroll (Co worker at BMO) on: Sep 14, 2022
