F.E.J. James (Jim) Downes
(Apr 12, 1928 - Mar 26, 2010)

A dear father who will be missed very much by Michael, Tracey, Andrea (& Mike), Patrick. And all your grandchildren “Puga”.  You left us to join our Mom, Teresa, who we have all missed terribly for the last three years.  Jim enjoyed a long career with Grinnell designing indoor fire protection systems and was active in the Catholic Church. He was an avid pianist and a long-standing member of church choir.

Visitation will take place Monday March 29 at Kitching Steepe & Ludwig Funeral Home, 146 Mill Street N., Waterdown from 7-9 pm.  Funeral Mass will be held Tuesday March 30, 10:30 am at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 715 Centre Road, Waterdown. Cremation to follow.

 As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations to World Vision, Carpenter Hospice or a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated by the family.  Many thanks to the thoughtful, caring nurses of Complex Continuing Care Unit in Milton District Hospital who took such good care of Sir James.

                                         Rest in peace.
