December 18, 1934 – August 7, 2026
A life well lived is a precious gift, of hope and strength and grace, from someone who has made our world a brighter, better place.
It’s filled with moments, sweet and sad with smiles and sometimes tears, with friendships formed and good times shared, and laughter through the years.
A life well lived is a legacy, of joy and pride and pleasure, a living, lasting memory, our grateful hearts will treasure.
Jim is survived by his wife of over 60 years, Nadia, and his children Susan, Patsy (Jim), Barry (Lisa), and Peter (Cheryl) as well as his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Jim was born and spent most of his life in sunny St. James, Winnipeg, Manitoba. His retirement years were enjoyed on “The Farm” in Balmoral, Manitoba.
He had many passions which included guitar (No. 1 Hank Snow fan), woodworking, and cracking good/bad jokes and puns. He loved the farm chores and adventures … there were many.
Jim adored his wife, Nadia. His every action was rooted in deep devotion for his loved ones. He was a quiet, kindhearted man. He didn’t say much but was a great listener.
In the words of Jim … husband, father, grandfather and friend, “It’s never goodbye, it’s so long.”
I love you, Man
Jim will be laid to rest beside his twin brother in the Veterans Memorial Gardens at Brookside Cemetery at a private internment.
