It is with great sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Jim at his home on Friday, September 27, 2019 at the age of 75. He was the beloved husband of Frances for 41 years, and loving dad of Sarah and Kevin. Jim was predeceased by his parents Patrick and Catherine, as well as his siblings William, Thomas, Kevin, Brendan, Sean, and Kathleen. He is survived by his sister Angela, who still lives in the Irish town of Wexford, where Jim was born. Jim will be dearly missed by his many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends. His family really appreciates the exceptional care that he received from the staff at The Toronto General Hospital for over 20 years, and the support of the Home and Community Care staff at his home during his final week. Frances, Sarah, and Kevin are forever grateful for all of the love and support that they have received from their family and friends over the years.

Funeral Mass to be held at St. Cecilia’s Catholic Church on Tuesday, October 1, 2019 at 11am. Private cremation to follow. For those who wish, donations may be made to Peter Munk Cardiac Centre.
