Obituary of James Connolly

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our loving husband, father and grandfather. Austin passed away peacefully at Foothills Medical Centre on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 after a long and bravely fought illness. It is a comfort to know he now rests in peace with our heavenly Father. Austin is lovingly remembered by his wife Clare; his daughter and son-in-law Michelle and Andrew; his sons and daughter-in-law Paul and Brenda, and James; and his grandchildren Scotch, Triana, Christa and Nolan.
