1914 ~ SHERIDAN ~ 2013

James Francis (Jim) Sheridan passed away peacefully in his 99th year at the Sunnyside Care Centre on 19th January 2013. Jim was a very keen rugby player in his youth, served overseas throughout WWII in the New Zealand Air Force and was subsequently a member of the RCAF Reserve. His lifelong passion was flying and he was a founding member of the Saskatchewan Flying Farmers. He took pride in the fact that he passed “the medical” for his private flying license at the age of 90! He was predeceased by his wife Patricia in 1993. He leaves his son Don with wife Debbie, daughters Vi and Moira with husband Tim and sons Caolan, Rory and Ian. The family thank all Jim’s caregivers especially the amazing, kind and thoughtful staff at the Sunnyside Care Home, Dr. W. Ruzycki and Karen. Profound thanks to Margaret Smith and Russ Harms for years of kindness, and to the Medicine Hat aviation community who in countless ways enriched his life.
