Obituary of James Hannah

HANNAH, James DavidsonPassed away on Wednesday, April 16, 2008, surrounded by his family. Left with happy memories are wife Joan, sister Betty, daughters Susan (Patrick) and Janice (Neil), and granddaughters Erin and Leah, with whom he shared his zeal for sports, passion for travel, appreciation of friendship, and his ever-ready controversial dinner topic. Also remembered through lifelong friendship, weekends on the slopes and political jousting at family gatherings, by his brothers and sisters (in-law) Jim and Margaret, Ken and Joan, and his nieces and nephews. Jim knew what he liked and enthusiastically sought out those activities, cultivating his interests and sharing them with family, friends and colleagues. Amongst other characteristics, he was a leader, planner, motivator, mentor and stabilizing presence, both within his own family and his other communities. We miss him already. The family will receive friends at the HUMPHREY FUNERAL HOME - A.W. MILES CHAPEL, 1403 Bayview Avenue (south of Eglinton Avenue East) from 2-4 & 7-9 p.m. on Monday, April 21. A memorial service will be held in the chapel on Tuesday, April 22 at one o'clock. Please bring your stories and photos to add to "Jim stories."
