Obituary of Mr. James Howard
1934-2019
It is with deep sadness that the family of James Howard announces his passing peacefully at home with his wife by his side on October 27, 2019. Jim lived a long, full life and his quick wit was with him to the end.
Left to miss his generosity and sense of humour are his loving wife of 59 years, Joan, and their children, Glenn (Carolyn), Lisa (Kevin) and Joel (Melissa). Cherished grandfather to Claire, Madeleine, Eric, Isabelle, James, Leah, Jessica and Ryan.
Jim was a legend on Bay St. for more than 50 years who was infamous for his colourful antics. He was a proud band member of Chippewa’s of Rama First Nation known by the Spirit name Lone Wolf. He loved to fish and was an avid golfer who took pride in his self-described Ben Hogan-like swing.
He felt blessed by his many friends and family. His greatest joy was to spend time at his beloved cottage on Crystal Lake surrounded by the people he loved most. Joan and his children provided unwavering love and attention over the past number of years, supporting him every step of the way on his long journey with Parkinson’s disease.
A Celebration of Life will follow in November, 2019 with details to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Parkinson Society of Canada would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the many unforgettable memories. Hoop-da!
