Peacefully, surrounded by loving family on March 11, 2025, at Bluewater Health, Dave passed away at the age of 84. Beloved husband to Mary “Booty” James (Nee Boucher). Loving Father to Jeff (Sheri) James and Brad (Krystin) James. Cherished Papa of Maddy, Aaron and Lillia. Dear Brother of Jane (Don) Hunter. Treasured Brother-in-law of Bob (Nora) Boucher. Predeceased by his parents Paul James and Frances James (Nee Grace) and sister-in-law Donna Schultz. Cremation has taken place. In keeping with Dave’s wishes he wanted to be thrown out in a green garbage bag on Tuesday and have a celebration….so we will at least honour his wish to have a party on Friday March 14, 2025 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Sarnia Golf and Curling Club, 500 Errol Rd W., Point Edward. Please join us to raise a glass to Dave and share stories, some of which you have probably already heard before. His infectious smile and positive outlook will be sorely missed. Sympathy may be expressed through donations to Parkwood Hospital-London and Diabetes Canada (cheques only at the funeral home or online please).
