James "Jimmy" H. Stannard Jr. 1946-2008 James "Jimmy" H. Stannard Jr., 62, of Salem passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, August 21 at the Hillsborough Golf Course. Jimmy was enjoying a game of golf which was his favorite past time when he was taken from us. Jimmy was born in Moncton on March 23, 1946. The son of the late James H. Stannard Sr. and Virginia (Wilson) Stannard of Hillsborough. He was a very skilled welder and operated his own welding business for about 30 years, last working with Aqua Engineering in Dawson Settlement. Everyone in Albert County knew if they needed anything welded, Jimmy was the man for the job. He enjoyed golfing, doing puzzles and tinkering around his garage. He also enjoyed being at Tim Hortons having coffee with his friends. He had a special place in his heart for animals, especially for his granddog, Jake. Above all things Jimmy treasured times spent with his family. He was looking forward to the arrival of his first granddaughter, Sadie June Carver-Stannard, who will arrive at the end of September. He was very close to his family and loved them very much, he will always be remembered for his great sense of humour and his little grin when he was up to something. His spirit will live on in all of them forever and he will never be forgotten.
