James (Jim) Galt

Jim was born on October 14 1924 on the family farm near Renown. He passed peacefully in his sleep on April 27 2014 at 89 years of age.

Predeceased by his parents James and Joan and his two sisters Sophia and Agnes. Jim is survived by his loving wife of 65 years Irene. Two sons, Claire of Watrous and Ken(Brenda) of Regina. Three granddaughters, Tricia Gibson(Devon and Aidan) of Delta, BC. Dawn Galt(Kaesha and Logan) of Regina and Danielle Galt of Regina.

Jim was born and raised in the Renown district. He moved to Simpson for work where he met Irene French. They were married in October of 1948 and were blessed with two sons Claire and Ken. He owned and operated the garage in Simpson before he sold out and moved to Thompson Manitoba, eventually returning to Watrous as supervisor of Hertz Bus until his retirement in 1985 when he devoted his time to his herd of Limousin cattle. In 2005 Jim and Irene sold the cattle and retired into Watrous where they enjoyed their retirement until Jim's health failed and he moved into Manitou Lodge where he resided for the last 18 months.

The family would like to thank the staff at Manitou Lodge for their kindness and compassion shown to Jim as his disease slowly stole him from us.

Friends desiring may contribute in James's memory to Alzeimers Society ofSaskatchewan.
