It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Jim on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at the Sault Area Hospital in his 86th year.
Jim will be dearly missed by his wife of 60 years, Pauline. He will be greatly missed by his sons, Kenny (Anne) and Jamie (Renee), as well as his grandchildren Dylan, Kyle (Kaitlyn), Ashley, Alex, Ryan, Jason (Amanda), James (Adrian), and great grandchildren, Mila, Riley, Immigen, Isabel and Elliot.
Predeceased by his mother, Rose Gauthier and his baby boy Ronnie. Brother of Gary, Diane and the late Noella. Uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Jim was an athlete, spending countless hours on a ballfield, coaching and umpiring. He was an avid bowler, he so loved the comradery of his teammates as well as opponents, a true example of real sportsmanship. Jim loved driving school bus, for what seemed like forever, driving generations of children, calling them his kids.
