Obituary: James (Jim) Henry July 24, 1924 - November 24, 2008
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jim Carrington after a courageous battle with leukemia. He was a loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather and will be dearly missed by his sons: Rick (Irene) and Gary (Patti), grandchildren Sarah, Shannon, Amy and James and numerous great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his loving wife Blanche in September 2007, two brothers Allan and Robert, and three sisters Eva, Irene and Thelma. After leaving the Navy, Jim was employed by the Calgary Fire Department from 1946 to his well-earned retirement in l984. He was also an active member of The Chief's & P.O.'s mess at HMCS Tecumseh, as well as the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 264 and the RNA Club. He loved all sports and was an accomplished athlete. Golf was his passion until the old body would not allow him to play, but he still followed it closely on television.
