Jim was predeceased by his son Murray Carter; parents Archie and Margaret Carter; brother-in-law Harry Coppens; and sister-in-law Alice Coppens. Jim was born March 20, 1924 in Rathwell, MB. He farmed (other than the time he spent in the armed services during the war) until he married Cecile Coppens in 1950 and moved to Winnipeg. He worked most of his life as a sheet metal mechanic at Trans Air, Bristol and Air Canada. Jim was an active man who enjoyed the outdoors, gardening and his family. His kindness, generosity and sense of humour will be remembered by all who knew him. His last few years have been spent struggling with deteriorating health. We are grateful to the staff of the Grace Hospital and Oakview Place.
