Passed away at home with family by his side on Monday 9th October 2023.
Aged 81 years.
Loved and loving husband, father and ‘Grumps – Pop’.

It’s hard to walk the road alone.
Instead of side by side,
But there comes a time for all of us,
When the paths of life divide.
As you have gone before me,
One thing I ask of you,
Walk slowly down the Heavenly path.
Till I catch up with you.
Love you.

  1. Our dear brother Jim. You will be missed by all of your family and friends in Australia and here in Canada.

    Our memories and love will live on in our hearts.
    Although we have lived a great distance and years apart the times we have spent together at family gatherings and vacations fills our lives with great memories which we will treasure.

    I am ever so grateful that I had the time to spend with you Jim in July and be part of your wonderful family in Australia at such an emotional and family
    time. Love was all around you.

    I may not be there for your farewell and

  3. Dear Australian family, we are so sorry to hear of the loss of Jimmy. I remember well his visit to Canada many years ago, in his 20’s I believe, just a kid. My Dad and Mom, Philip and Jenny Callus so enjoyed the visits with our beautiful cousins. I am sorry that I have not had that opportunity to date but hopefully one day I can meet the rest of my family. Love and Hugs Rose Marie and Steve Kerton. daughter of the late Phil and Jenny Callus xox
