James Calvin FitzGibbon

Passed away suddenly in the Bahamas on Tuesday January 21, 2020, at the age of 70. Beloved husband of Linda. Loving father of Jamie (Casie), Amanda (Randy) and Nick (Tina). Cherished Papa Jim of Reese, Aubrie, Summer, Adelaide and Robyn. Jim will be missed by many extended family members and friends. Jim was born and raised in Guelph where he worked as an elementary French teacher. He loved playing his guitar, motorcycle rides on his Ducati with his friends, cooking delicious meals and recently traveling with his wife. He had been enjoying his retirement on their hobby farm in Puslinch where they have lived for over 40 years. He was a truly classic character who put family above all else.
