James CREELMAN Obituary
November 25, 1928 - January 22, 2013
With sadness in our hearts, yet admiration for his strength and courage, we announce the passing of James Norman Creelman. A warm, kind, giving and supportive man, he was devoted to his family. His unconditional love will forever be felt by his children Peter and Carol (Mik), grandchildren Mitchell, Alana, Kurtis, Christopher, Sarah and great-grandchild Silas, extended family and friends. Jim has now joined his beloved wife Genevieve and all who passed before him. His smile and happy nature shone brightly throughout his life and will be dearly missed. A Celebration of Life in his honour will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 263 Hall, 1025 Ridgeway Avenue, Coquitlam, BC on Friday, March 1, 2013 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Donations in his memory to the Burnaby Hospital Foundation (ICU), 3935 Kincaid Street, Burnaby, BC, V5G 2X6 are appreciated.

Such a warm stoic man. Full of life no matter the circumstance. The first impression was always of strength and a good sense of humour. Such a nice man.

Carol,
Your Dad was such a sweet, lovely man with a great sense of humour. He was a wonderful and gentle patient and I am glad I had the honour to look after him during his times in our ICU. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
