  • Notes 
    • TENNANT, John James (Jim) It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather on Tuesday, April 3, 2012, in his 80th year at home in the care of his family. Beloved husband of Joyce Morrison for 48 years, loving father of Jackie Clemens and her husband Gord of Cambridge, Theresa Tennant-Bucht and her husband Robert of Wyevale, Carol Walter and her husband John of Midland. Dearly missed by his grandchildren Janet (Aaron), Jennifer (Andy), Ashley (Sean), Becky (Charlie), Natalie, Eric, Jimmy and Jake as well as his great-grandchildren Kelsey, Samantha, Jordon, Cameron, Mikayla, Braydon, Matthew and Gracie. He joins his baby sister Kathleen and his brother Stewart (April 15, 2011) and will be missed by his sister Audrey Beckman (Don) and sister-in-law Shirley. Jim was born April 19, 1932 in Beverly Township, Puslinch to the late Millie and John Tennant. He worked as a metal fabricator at Sheldon's Engineering, Galt and was a licensed mechanic at High Park Texaco, Galt. He then ventured into his own business as an Auto Body mechanic, owning Tennant Auto Body until 1974. Always loving Georgian Bay where the family cottaged for years, Jim relocated his family to the area. He started a construction business that eventually led to his career at Tim Horton's as a construction supervisor and a franchise owner in the Midland area. Friends may call at the Nicholls Funeral Home Cremation Centre , 330 Midland Avenue, Midland on Monday, April 9th, from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. The service will take place in the chapel on Tuesday, April 10th at 1:00 p.m. Interment in Wyevale Cemetery. Donations to the Tim Horton's Children Foundation would be greatly appreciated as it was a charity very dear to Jim. Expressions of sympathy can be sent to the family at www.nicholls-funeral.ca
