Jim was born on July 21st, 1933 in St. Joseph’s Cove, Newfoundland and in December 2001, Jim and Ann moved to Medicine Hat to the delight of all their family. Jim was a carpenter and loved to work with his hands and tinker in his garage. After moving to Medicine Hat he loved to help his sons in their various renovation projects and he enjoyed a cold beer and storytelling on the weekends. Jim put his family in front of himself-their needs always came first. Jim and Ann would have celebrated their 58th Wedding Anniversary on October 27th, 2012.
