Obituary of James Finn

Finn, James "Jim" Bernard The family of the late James Finn are deeply saddened to announce his sudden passing on Wednesday, January 24, 2018 at the age of 92. James is survived by his loving wife of 69 years Joan Finn (nee Hartford). Loving and devoted father of Paul (Margot), Lorne (Judi) and Bernard (Luanne) Finn and Shirley Moss (Fred Himmelman). Cherished grandfather of Cassandra, Matthew, Becky, (predeceased by grandson Vincent), Nicholas, Benjamin, Spencer and Riley. James was a devoted family man. He loved his cottage on Bass Lake and hosting all of the wonderful gatherings with family and friends over the years. He was an enthusiastic outdoorsman and was still splitting wood at his bush lot the week before he passed. James was a proud 4th degree Knight with the Knights of Columbus, which was highlighted by his two years serving as Grand Knight. He took great pride in his 38 year career with CP Rail and particularly enjoyed the task of training and mentoring engineer trainees. James would often recite and truly believed, "you are only as old as you feel." James Finn was an inspiration and he lived his life to the fullest.
