Loving father of Lori Racine (husband Rob) of Timmins and Jamie. Much loved grandfather of Tyler Racine and Cameron Racine. Jim took great pride in their accomplishments. Beloved son of Charles and Alberta, both predeceased. Dear brother of the late Ron Wicks (surviving wife Barbara of Brampton) and Anita Flesher (late husband Stan) of Hanmer. Uncle to 7 nieces and nephews. Jim worked for the Ministry of Transportation for 31 years retiring in 1995. He enjoyed renovating their home and yard.

But best of all, Jim loved being around his family.
