James LYNN Obituary

Published by Ottawa Citizen from Dec. 7 to Dec. 8, 2017.

LYNN, James Hugh September 16, 1937 December 5, 2017 Peacefully and quietly, as he lived his life, Jim slipped away from us, surrounded by our love on Tuesday, December 5, 2017. Dearly loved husband and constant companion of Kathy (née McLean). Proud, devoted, loved and admired father of Andy (Joss) and Marjie (Mon). Cherished and much loved grandfather of Gabriel, Graham (deceased), Molly and Matthew, brother of the late Bill Lynn and fond brother-in-law of Doug McLean of Toronto. The family will always be grateful to all the unsung heroes whose donations of blood gave Jim the gift of five more years with us. We are also thankful for the wonderful care provided by Dr. Linda La Croix and her team at the Medical Day Care Unit at the Montfort Hospital, and for the same wonderful care he received from Drs. Mitch Sabloff and Jill Fulcher and their team at the Medical Day Care Unit at the General Hospital. We were most fortunate to be part of the Palliative Care team of Champlain LHIN. The family would like to invite friends and neighbours to gather for a Reception to Honour Jim at the Pinecrest Reception Centre, (2500 Baseline Rd, Ottawa) on Saturday, December 9 from 12 noon until 2:00 p.m. Words of Remembrance will be spoken at 1:00 p.m. Those wishing to make a donation in Jim's memory are asked to consider the Canadian Blood Services, the Montfort Hospital, the Ottawa Hospital or the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. He will be deeply missed, always loved and forever held dear in the hearts he leaves behind.

I had the pleasure of getting to know
Jim during our years at Carleton. While he was a good student and an excellent Ravens football player I confess to being rather mediocre at both. During subsequent years Jim and I became good friends and managed to get together periodically for a round of golf and the odd lunch. You couldn't have asked for a nicer guy. He will be missed.

Jim and I were team mates on the Ravens football team in the late 50's. He was one of the best players on the team. I was not. He was tough but played by the rules. A true sportsman in every sense of the word. He was a role model for all of us.
Sincere condolences to Kathy and the family

I knew Jim through our mutual involvement with the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa. He was well-informed on all aspects of Irish family history and research and was always willing and able to assist others. Always interesting to speak with, I will miss Jim. My prayers are with the family.

Kathy & Family: I am truly sorry for the passing of a long time friend Jimmy. I recall Jim playing 2nd base and also in football with our old school "High School of Commerce". Jimmy was always such a delight, pleasant, helpful, top of the class in smarts. My sincere condolences on your loss.

Dear Lynn family,

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear Jim. Both my husband and I worked at City Hall with his brother Bill. I remember how dedicated Bill and Jim were with their Mom. My brother-in-law Gerry played hockey (American league) years ago. Take care.
