Jim Wilson, of Riverview, passed away at the Drew Nursing Home in Sackville, NB, on Wednesday, April 29, 2020.  Born in Toronto, he was the son of the late Clifford and Grace (Boyce) Wilson.  He was a member of The Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church. A member of the Knights of Columbus 3rd degree Council 9270 and a 4th degree knight with the Msgr. Roy M. MacDonald Assembly. Jim graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 1960. However, it was shortly after graduation that he found his true calling in sales and later, was self employed until his retirement.

Jim had a bucket list; learn to be a pilot, play the bagpipes and become a politician. As the saying goes 2 out of 3 is not bad. He was a politician for 9 years and very active in the community. Jim went flying through life like a jet. However, he never did learn the Bagpipes as some folks could not tolerate the noise of him practising.

He will be dearly missed by his wife Anne Marie, sons; Kevin (Heather) and Gregory (Shirley), and daughter, Elaine Bayley, five exceptional grandchildren and 3 cherished great grandchildren. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by a sister, Blanche Richardson.

A private prayer service will take place from Cobb’s Funeral Home, 330 Whitepine Rd., Riverview (869-2007), with a celebration of Jim’s life to take place at a later date due to the current Covid crisis. The interment will take place in the Alderwood Cemetery at a later date. Donations may be made to The Drew Nursing Home in Sackville or of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by his family.  Online condolences may be expressed at www.cobbsfuneralhome.ca
