Jim was a retired employee of Dofasco for over 30 years. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed coaching hockey when he lived in Hamilton.

So sad to hear of Jim’s passing , I will always remember the times we spent together on our many golf outings, and Jim’s ability to make a 12 hour night shift @ Dofasco bearable. Also remember how proud Jim was of his family . I know he will be greatly missed by all. Thinking of all of you.
Bill & Vicki Chontos.
