Obituary of James Alexander FINNEY

Jim passed away peacefully at the Colonel Belcher at the age of 86. He will be remembered as a loving husband to his wife Heather; a proud father to daughters Karen (Barry) and Krista (deceased); sons Jim and Bradley; and wonderful grandfather to Aislinn, Liam and Jamie. Born in Banbridge, County Down, N. Ireland, Jim proudly served in the Royal Canadian Navy during WW II. Jim was active in the Calgary business community for 50 years, most notably as the owner of Finney - Taylor Personnel for 26 years. Sports were his passion; he excelled in fastball, hockey, squash and golf to name a few. He will be missed.
