It is with heavy hearts we announce, William James Gale passed away at the Grace Hospital, peacefully and with his family at his side on Tuesday, October 15, 2013, at the age of 65 years.
Left to forever cherish Jim’s memory are his wife Linda Barker; sons, Richard (Donna McKay) Gale, Kelly (Jodie) Gale; extended family Krista Barker (Rick Delaine), and Shannon (James) Ford. He will be deeply missed by his grandchildren Wesley McKay, Jayda McKay-Gale, Tyler and Megan Gale, Ashlyn Delaine and Justine Ford; his brothers and sisters, Dan, Nancy, Bob, Doreen and Debbie; numerous nieces; nephews and his longtime friends Bobby Reed and Uncle Pete. He was predeceased by both his parents David and Dorothy Gale; and granddaughter Alyssa.
Growing up on Ferry Road Jim attended Brittanica School. He was always ambitious and hardworking and from an early age would actively seek out little jobs to earn spending money. He also enjoyed spending time skating and at dances at the Airways Community Club with his buddies.
Jim worked numerous jobs over the years. After McGavins Foods, he ventured into self-employment as a co-owner operator of MR Fleet. More recently, he worked for the Seven Oaks School Division. Jim had a great fondness for the staff and students he worked with over the years. He enjoyed hunting, camping and fishing with family and friends. He was always present in his sons’ lives and in their many ventures, including helping them with motocross and sprint racing. Jim took great pride in his annual canning marathon of tomatoes, pickles and onions. He had a great passion for cars. He was often found in his garage tinkering or fixing something. Jim always had a project on the go and was always happy to help a friend.
In compliance with Jim’s wishes there will be a celebration to honor him at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 2, 2013 in the Army Navy & Air Force, Unit 283-3584 Portage Avenue.
Our family would like to express their gratitude for the compassionate and outstanding care he received from the doctors, nurses, and staff on D6 at Health Sciences Centre and Cancer Care Manitoba.
