James Boydell Obituary
He is survived by wife, Joyce (née Hume) and children Shirley, John (Dorothea) and Ned (Linda). He is also survived by 8 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by parents, Jack and Ellen, sister Joan, brother Michael, infant son Alfred and son-in-law Richard.
Jim was born in Kamloops on November 23, 1931. He married Joyce on April 19, 1954. He started working for Trans Mountain Oil Pipeline in 1953 and retired from the company in 1986.
Jim enjoyed hunting and fishing most of his life. He kept busy during his retirement years with projects such as making recipe boxes and side tables from repurposed wood, and making boat loaders, wrought iron railings and utility trailers.
The family would like to thank Dr. Chahal, Dr. Wynne and the staff at Ridgeview Lodge for his care. Special thanks to Al Collins for the many lunch trips which always brightened his day.
Jim requested there be no funeral service. There will be a celebration of life at a later date.
No flowers please. Donations to the Parkinson Society of British Columbia in Jim's memory would be appreciated.

Joyce and family, I was very saddened to see that Jim passed away. Jim was the best boss I ever had and credit him a lot for helping me in my career. He always treated each of his employees with respect and dignity and yet did not back away when we need to be reprimanded. I often silently thanked him for things he taught me while I worked for him. I am very sorry for your loss and trust that the wonderful memories you have of your life with Jim will comfort you at this time.

JS was one of my very favourite people when I worked for TMPL in Kamloops. He was so very kind to me and everyone else there. My sincere condolences to Joyce and the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you....June Yamamoto
