Alexander, James
August 14, 1944 – June 26, 2011.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James Alexander, after a brave battle on Sunday June 26th at William Osler Brampton Civic Hospital. Beloved husband of Catherine for over 44 years, father of Kelly (Todd), Dawn (Kevin) and Grandad of Sydnee & Wyatt.
