James ALLAN Obituary

JAMES STEWART ALLAN "JIM" Passed away peacefully on the morning of October 23, 2022, at the age of 91. He lived a full and active life, very much on his own terms. Jim will be dearly remembered by his wife Valerie of 65 years, his children: Andrew (Maria), Derek (2014), Edward, Stephen, and his granddaughter, Jessica, as well as his extended family and friends. Born and educated in England, Jim trained to become a farmer. It wasn't until he arrived in Canada in 1956 that he changed his mind and became an accountant, settling in Toronto. The following year he coaxed the love of his life, Valerie to also leave her family and friends in England to join him in Canada. The two were married in 1957, raising their four boys in midtown Toronto. A celebration of Jim's life will be held at a later date.

My grandparents (Ed & Lil Tanner) became friends with Jim and Val. And then so did our family (Bryce & Anne Tanner, Kim & Greg). we had many family gatherings as we lived a block away in Toronto for a few years. Remember the skating rink well, with the tree in the middle of it. Bryce and Jim got together regularly in Toronto in their later years to play music and chat. We have many fond memories. Our condolences to the family. Kim

I remember Jim from our days with The Monarchist League of Canada.
He was willing to "pitch" in when ever he could.
He was also a super supporter of the Scouting movement.
He will be missed.
Jim Rest In Peace and God Save The King.

Francesca and I knew Jim through his association with the Richmond Hill Centennial Pipe. He was a quiet and caring person. At the same time he was strong in his beliefs and we respected Jim for all his qualities. We are sorry to learn of his passing.

I met Jim in a Baptist church in Toronto when I first came to Canada in 1993. We become very good friends and he took me camping with him. We had very good time together and I was with him in Richmond Hill band where I was playing drums with him. We shared the same love for the Queen of England. I was invited by Jim and Valerie many times for meals. I felt like he was a father to me here in Canada. Rest in peace Jim I really miss your chats and advice and I wish we kept in touch after I left Toronto. God bless you in Haven.
