NEW GLASGOW - James Michael “Jim” Callaghan, age 78, of New Glasgow, passed away Saturday, December 13, 2014 at the Aberdeen Hospital. Born May 10, 1936, Jim was a son of the late Elizabeth (Kiley) and James Callaghan.
Jim grew up in New Glasgow and attended St. John’s Academy where he was a member of the 1950 provincial championship hockey team. Jim was retired from the Public Service of Canada, working most of his career at the Canada Employment Insurance Commission in New Glasgow.
Jim was a faith-filled member of Our Lady of Lourdes Church. Always charitable, Jim volunteered for many years with the St. Vincent De Paul Society. He also coached his sons in New Glasgow Minor Hockey and was a long-time member of Abercrombie Golf and Country Club.
He enjoyed watching and playing golf and hockey as well as daily walks and conversations with friends he met along his route. Most of all, he was a passionate follower of all his grandchildren’s interests and always their biggest fan. He will be sadly missed by all.
