Obituary of James "Jim" Townsend

Passed Away Peacefully on October 19th, 2020 at Berkshire Nursing Home, Windsor. Beloved husband of 56 years to Rose, an irreplaceable Dad to Bryan and his partner Brandi, a devoted Granddad to Bryanna and Liam and a much-loved brother of Susan, Maureen and the late Bryan. Jim was an ex professional soccer player and enjoyed a very successful career in Scotland prior to emigrating to Canada. He was an avid golfer and a member of Kingsville golf club where he played regularly with his son Bryan. Jim adored his 2 grandkids and treasured his time with them, he was very proud of Bryanna’s academic achievements and was delighted that his young grandson Liam was a keen soccer player who loved the game as much as his Granddad. Rose and the family would like to thank the nursing staff at Berkshire, especially all you hero's on floor 2, who provided excellent care and made Jim’s final days comfortable.
