James Henry Adams, age 71 years, passed away peacefully with family by his side in the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre on Saturday, December 17, 2016.
James was born on September 2, 1945 in Fort Frances, ON. He moved to Atikokan in 1954 where he attended elementary and high school. His career took him into mechanics for heavy equipment.
Jim was a good man in every way with a great sense of humour. He loved his cabin at Rainy Lake, spending time with his family, travelling and his greatest joy was his dog “Dusty”. In the early years he raced stock cars and snowmobiles, winning numerous trophies.
Jimbo will be sadly missed by his step children: Terry (Robinson) and Charlie Rounds of Fort Frances, ON; Billy and Dwayne Robinson of Cranbrook, BC; and Tracy (Robinson) and Dwayne DeGagne of Fort Frances, ON; numerous nieces, nephews, grandchild and great grandchild; and brother-in-law Jack Russow.
Jim will be lovingly remembered by his sister Linda (George) Telge of Saskatoon, SK; niece Vanessa Adams and family of Saskatoon, SK; niece Holly Adams and family of Saskatoon, SK; nephew Jamie (Garda) Knorr of Thunder Bay, ON; niece Janice Knorr of Thunder Bay, ON; Karen (Regan) Bolduc of Thunder Bay, ON; and nephew Kevin (Andreja) Knorr of Vancouver, BC.
He was predeceased by his spouse Monique Robinson, both parents James and Anna Adams, brother William Adams, sister Carol Knorr, sister-in-law Rajanne Russow and Monique’s parents Evelyn and Ernie Toffan.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to the staff, doctors and many friends who took extra care of Jim during his final days with us.
Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
