James "Jim" Tourangeau

James (Jim) Tourangeau, 79, of Oakville, Ontario passed away suddenly on February 17, 2022, after a brief illness.

Jim was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec to father Joseph Tourangeau and mother Beatrice Tourangeau (nee Hilliam). He met his wife Joanne (nee Kowalsky) and started a family. His work in the consumer electronics industry took him and his family to Vancouver, BC then to Oakville, Ontario where he eventually retired after a successful career.

During retirement, Jim joined several local service organizations within the community. Although he loved helping others, he really enjoyed the fellowship and friends he made within those organizations. He was always quick with a joke to lighten the mood and couldn't wait for the snow to melt in order to get back out on the golf course with the gang. He also enjoyed watercolour painting, gardening, puttering in the garage with the next project, and spending time with friends and family.

Jim was predeceased by his parents, wife Joanne, and brother-in-law Paul Kowalsky. He will be greatly missed by his daughter Tina, son Dan (Christina), his grandchildren Nicola and Olivia, and sister-in-law and brother-in-law Gloria and Tony Covillo of Ottawa.

Cremation has already taken place and he will rest with his wife at St. Jude's Cemetery in Oakville. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

For those who are able, please give generously to the charity of your choice in his memory.
