JAMES EVANS MORGAN

MORGAN, JAMES EVANS It is with a great sense of loss that we announce the passing of Jim Morgan on Sunday, September 13th, 2009 at the DVA Veteran's Health Unit, Fredericton, NB. Jim's early years growing up in Montreal West, studying economics at McGill University, and his marriage in 1940 to Barbara Newman (1917- 2000), were interrupted, as were the lives of many of his generation, by World War II. The war took him away from his family and home to the battlefields of Europe where he served with 5th Canadian Division (Signals) in Italy. Upon his return almost four years later, Jim resumed his career with the Royal Bank of Canada, and a life of devotion to family, friends, volunteer services, and the Bank, from which he retired as Deputy Manager, Chief Corporate Planning Officer in 1976. He then served for two years as Chairman of the Bank Act Revision Committee until 1978 when he and Barbara began a long and happy retirement in Knowlton, PQ, with interludes in Menton, France. While Jim's passing will be mourned, his and Barbara's life will be celebrated as long as memory serves those they leave behind; son, David (Helen); daughter, Beverly Pinnock (Marty); granddaughter, Ann; grandson, Chris; great grandson, Chase; sister, Jean Soper (Jim); many nieces and a nephew; friends and colleagues. A Private Graveside Committal will take place in St. John's Anglican Church Cemetery, Lac Brome, PQ at a later date. For those who wish remembrances may be made to Stanley "Just Friends" Food Bank or the charity of the donor's choice. The family wishes to offer many thanks to the wonderful staff of Windsor Court and DVA Health Unit for their compassion and kindness. Arrangements have been entrusted to York Funeral Home, 302 Brookside Drive, Fredericton, NB. Personal condolences may be offered through www.yorkfh.com
