James was a family man; spending time with family and friends was the most important thing to him. When we think about all the things we love about James it makes us smile. He loved talking to everyone, many family gatherings were spent talking about what was going on in our lives and current affairs (especially politcs). A quick trip to Canadian Tire, the bank or pharmacy James would be calling out "hey chief" and checking up on all the people he knows there. James loved all things automotive and helped everyone keep their car in top running performance. He loved being busy, even after retirement he was still helping his friends in their own business, lugging HVAC units onto building tops and deep into cramped basements. James was a storyteller sharing funny stories of growing up in Barbados from sneaking off to drive "the old man's truck" and returning it without gas at the age of nine, to how people got their nicknames. Father, brother, uncle, cousin and friend he has impacted so many lives. Memories of James will live on forever. Please share your photos and memories or favourite stories with us. In liue of flowers please consider making a contribution to Ian Anderson House in Oakville, Ontario. Ian Anderson House is a hospice dedicated to providing support for those with cancer. Thank you.

I met James in 1994 when i came to Canada. He was in some way related to my Aunt Veda of whom i lived with for a while. He would visit on occasion and we became friends. I could see from the beginning that he was a man of integrity. James helped me in landing my first Job here in Canada of which i am truly greatful to this day. After 2 years of working together, I left the company to return to my field of HVAC, but as friends, we kept in touch over the years. After he retired, he would accompany me on many job sites where we had fun working together. He enjoyed meeting people and sharing stories or opinion on various topics. He had many stories to share. Stemming from his days of growing up back home in Barbados to moving to Canada and the various jobs he had. A lot of which were funny. He was very much passionate about cars and was always willing to lend advice. I remember he had an oldsmobile that he just didnt want to part with {lol} and was always finding stuff to fix on it as this was his passion. James was a true friend and will definitely be missed. RIP James

My mother was James' godmother and James was a faithful godson. As she got older he would not fail to call and visit although it meant a 2 hour drive. I will always remember his faithfulness, care and contagious laughter. We had many nice talks toward his end and I will treasure the memories. Wilma Prescod London, ON.

Thursday, Dec. 18/20 Farewell to my good friend, James Walcott, who passed away last week in Brampton, Ontario. Very sad to see you go but now you are in a better place and the fond memories will always be there of when we were small, playing bat and ball in the Endeavour Gap, later telling jokes on the school bus from Orange Hill to Bridgetown and much later dining out in Brampton, sitting in my back yard in Toronto and you once driving from Brampton to Pearson Interna- tional airport on a blustery rainy night just to wish me bon voyage on my trip back to Barbados. You will be sorely missed my friend, but rest in peace and fly with the angels. My heartfelt condolences to all your friends and family in Barbados, Canada and beyond.
