James was born in Winnipeg and grew up in the Norwood district. He worked for North Star Oil and Shell Oil combined for over 40 years. James was a loving husband, a wonderful father and grandfather. He took great pride in his children and grandchildren. He always stressed the importance of education. His best advice was, "Get that piece of paper." James, or Jimmy as he was known by his friends, loved to fly. He earned his wings in 1970. He was especially proud of his grandson, Steve, the day he came to show Grandpa his pilots logbook. James always felt young at heart and never considered himself to be old. He was friendly and outgoing and made friends with everyone he spoke to and loved to talk to everyone both young and old. He will be sadly missed. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service celebrating James life will be held Saturday, November 2 at 1:00 p.m. in the Edward J.
