JAMES D. T. AINSLIE MD, FRCSC January 2, 2021 James D. T. Ainslie, MD, FRCSC, passed away on January 2, 2021, peacefully at home after a 16-month battle with cancer. Born in London, ON in 1930, he grew up in Toronto, where he graduated from the University of Toronto Schools (1949) and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto (1955). He practiced in Wawa, ON as a GP, then returned to Toronto to train as a urologist, after which he spent most of his career at the East General Hospital, retiring in 1996. He and his wife, Janet (née Wright) were married in 1957 and she will miss him greatly. So too will his three children, Elizabeth (Doug de Leeuw), Mary (John Esson), and Donald (Mike Twamley); and the three grandchildren he adored (Jessica and Rachel de Leeuw, and Will Esson). Jim is survived by his beloved sister, Margaret Tuer, and was predeceased by his brother, George. He also had many nieces and nephews and enjoyed spending time with them and their families. Jim had a keen intelligence and was an excellent physician, but more importantly he was a kind, positive and warm individual. He loved to read and talk politics and was never short of strong opinions, which he would happily debate. His family and friends enjoyed many wonderful times at the family hobby farm in Mulmur, ON, where his enthusiasm for life evidenced itself through many 'projects'. He lived a full and happy life, with many good friends throughout, and alongside a family who loved him, and felt his love for them. The family would like to thank LHIN (Joan, Mo, Pricilla, Romesa), and Dr. Jamie Meuser and his team at the Temmy Latner Centre for their wonderful support throughout Jim's final months. A service will be livestreamed on Monday, January 11 at 3:00 p.m. Please consult the Bedford Funeral Home website for details. In lieu of flowers, if you choose, donations can be made by eTransfer to Yorkminster Park Meals on Wheels, where Jim and Janet volunteered for many years (info@ypmealsonwheels.com).
