Passed away peacefully at Billings Court Manor, Burlington, on January 12, 2022 in his 83rd year. Beloved husband and best friend of Susan Biggar (deceased) for over 49 wonderful years. Loving father of James (Michelle) of Toronto, Robert (Allison) of Burlington, and Christopher of Vancouver. Proud grandfather of Wyatt, Addison, Alexis and Evan. Survived by his sister Sandra (Gerry) Boswell. Jim grew up on a peach/cherry farm in Grimsby and attended Queen's engineering before Dental school at the University of Toronto. He became a Periodontist and founded a private practice which he ran for over 40 years. Jim met Susan in 1967 and together they built Trillium Wood North (Lake Rosseau) and South (Burlington). Jim's sense of adventure and work ethic was an inspiration to his family and he will be deeply missed by extended family and friends.
