"There are no scraps of woodJust pieces not yet used."
The vast family of Jim Kimberley are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved brother, father, grandpa (papa), great-grandpa and uncle. Jim was born in Noranda Quebec. As a young boy, Jim enjoyed spending time outdoors playing with his siblings: Don, Ann and Glenn.
Jim touched a lot of lives as he worked many jobs across Canada, from working on the railways, to the mines in Quebec, serving time in the Canadian Military as a gunner (receiving an honourable discharge), and finally settling in the town of Goderich where he retired from Volvo (Champion) after a a long career there.
Jim spent his later years enjoying life with his loving wife Bonnie. During his retirement years Jim kept himself busy with many hobbies, most notably his gift for creating beautiful carpentry pieces. Jim was also an avid reader with a tenacity for knowledge. His practical mind and problem-solving skills made Jim a fierce leader to his children: Louise, Jeanette, Butch, Larry, Shirley, Darlene, Don, Mike, Brian and Greg.
Jim also leaves behind numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will forever miss his stories, his advice and his legacy of wisdom.
Jim is now reunited with the love of his life, whom he missed dearly. Together again, their love continues beyond this world.

I never had the privilege of knowing Jim but I do know that he was kind and generous to my lovely grand daughter and her family. May he rest peacefully now.
