Avis de décès de James-E. Patterson

PATTERSON, James E. - With a forest fire approaching the little town of Hornepayne, Ontario, James E. Patterson was born on June 15, 1932, the second son to Harvey and Ida Patterson. Jim leaves to mourn his wife of 55 years, Sheena; his sons John (Ellen) of Lansdowne, Robert (Joy) of St. Catharines, as well as his much loved grandchildren Andy Jr., Julie (Ian), Craig, Heather, Scott and his first great- grandchild Sophia Patterson; also survived by his brother Bob (Myrna) of St. Catharines and his sister Judy Taylor of Hamilton. Jim was predeceased by his eldest son Andy (1980) and his brother Murray (2005). Jim was an adherent of Westminster United Church, Scout Master of the 3rd St. Catharines Group and made a most believable Santa for the Sunday School. He began his working years with Bell Canada, but quickly changed to follow in his father's footsteps to become a butcher and meat cutter, he changed careers again in the early 80's to become a Concrete Salesman, which was the job he truly loved, working at Transit Mix, Peninsula Ready Mix and retiring from Clem's Ready Mix in 1996. Jim was an avid hunter and fisherman, teaching his sons through a series of adventures and misadventures to enjoy the great outdoors. His direct approach to life and good humour will be greatly missed. The family would like to thank the staff from Henley House and Dr. Hartman for their kindness, support and caring. The family will receive friends at the HULSE & ENGLISH FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL, 75 CHURCH STREET (905-684- 6346) on Sunday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Service in the Chapel on Monday, May 4, 2009 at 1 p.m. Donations to the Henley House Palliative Care would be appreciated by the family.
