James McConville

McCONVILLE, James August 27, 1924 - March 17, 2009 From Lurgan, Northern Ireland, to Ottawa, Ontario and on to his final days in Prince Rupert, BC, we celebrate 84 years of a fascinating journey with Dad's passing on the morning of March 17, 2009, a departure made fittingly on a St. Patrick's Day and as always, on Dad's terms. Predeceased in 1988 by his loving partner in life Mary Patricia, James leaves behind his two loving sons Kevin (Emilia) and Terry (Faye) and the centre of his universe these last fourteen years his grandson Seamus. We wish to thank the nurses, doctors and staff of Prince Rupert Regional Hospital. While too many to mention by name, they all provided the best for him whenever he was in need and in their care. We offer our many thanks to all; from the ICU and Emergency Departments and other departments of the hospital, to the third and fourth floors for their compassion and attention for Dad over these last few years. Thanks as well to Dr. Boss, who provided for Dad in his last hours of his life this weekend past and to Father Chris Lynch who helped prepare Dad for this one last journey. Special thanks to the staff of the Casey clinic, who have always provided Dad with the best of care and affection whenever he would visit. Finally to Dr. Mark Wigmore, our heartfelt thanks for the kindness, compassion and medical attention that you provided for Dad over his many years under your care. He was fortunate to have had you helping his way through these final years of his life. Our appreciation to all those who have offered their support and sympathy at this time, your kindness has been a comfort to us all. By Dad's wish, there will be no service or visitation in Prince Rupert; we will celebrate his life upon his return to Ottawa later this year, where he will rejoin Mom in his final journey with many a tale to tell. The lessons of life have been taught and with their completion, his journey is now complete. Rest easy now Dad, your work is done.
