OBITUARY JAMES CHRISTOPHER MCDONNELL It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jim, on January 29, 2007. He left us peacefully at the West Island Palliative Care Residence after a brave battle with cancer.

Brother of Alexander (Huguette), Mary Frances (Gerald DeRochie), and Bernie (Helen), and uncle to many nieces and nephews. Jim retired from CN Rail after a long and rewarding career as a Senior Executive Officer in Financial Planning and served as a city councellor in Roxboro for 10 years. Special thanks to Kim Jesse at the Lakeshore General Hospital, and our good friends, neighbours, and golfing buddies. Jim's sense of humour, wisdom, and generosity will be greatly missed.
