Canon James Francis O'NEIL

Confirmed me , married us, and baptized our first child. Baby Sat Peter. Gail Eden Brown ((Williams)

My sincere condolences to his family. Rev O'Neil confirmed me at St. Mary's, married me at St. Mary's. Baptized both our children at St. John's York Mills. He was a true servant of God and a good friend to many.

You have to be thankful for M. B. F. Srvcs., for a renewal of this fine obit., pictures, historical evidence ....such a fine man & family great evidence....so I notice that Jim was [12] year's older than I, I'd never gave that a thought, for with his 'True Broader Catholic Training & Faith, even family', to me He Was Timeless.
And Thanks for all here to stave your witness, it mean's a lot to me, esp. in a faster, changing world.....where far to many 'pews are empty', a contrast indeed,...

Reverend Jim O’Neil was a kind man and I am so grateful that he came to see my mum at Sunnybrook to offer her solace and comfort during her terminal illness. Fond memories of a man who loved life and his parishioners and could always make us laugh on a Sunday and lift our hearts. RIP Jim O’Neil. You live in the hearts of so many.

In your Mercy Lord, hear my humble prayer, He did.
I am late here, but it so...

What wonderful memories I have when you were Rector of St. John's York Mills and the time after you retired when I lived in Toronto. Also, after I moved to Perth and visited you and Jean when I was in Toronto, once a year. Also, I called every Tuesday and we always had a lovely conversation and I read you a joke. I have a wonderful picture on my fridge of you, Jean, and I on your back porch. It is so precious and even more so now that you are gone!! Another precious memory was when I...

Our deepest sympathy for your loss. My parents Cliff and Betty Dawson enjoyed many years of friendship with Rev. Canon O'Neil and Jean and their young family while serving the Lord at St. George's Church in Haliburton back in the 60"S. I remember enjoyable social times my parents and the O'Neil's share both at church and at their homes. We wish you comfort in knowing he was loved and appreciated.
Sincerely, Arthur Dawson
