Janet I am so sorry about your dad. I will always remember his smile when he came to the rinks to watch Dalton. Cherish his memories close to your heart as he will always be with you. Hugs to Dalton, Darcy and family❤️

Our deepest sympathy to Rose and family
Words may not ease your pain or the sorrow that you bear; But may you find comfort in knowing, that others care Love Ron and Arlene.

Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. Fondly remembering Jimmy, a kind, generous, funny and loving person. Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Jimmy was and always will be the story of legends in our family. With his amazing, slicked back memorable hair and formidable presence, to his big comfy cars, he was always the stuff of superheroes or mafia gangsters…you could not quite figure out which, lol! He was just the coolest and wittiest man. I looked up to him and loved when we could all get together. His laugh/giggle was so infectious and he always had a devious sparkle in his eye. His career path was very prestigious and important in our eyes, yet he was the most humble man about it. We will all truly miss the man, the myth, the legend that was Uncle Jimmy. It will be quite the day when we meet again and I look forward to it someday!

My condolences to Aunt Rose, Janet, Shawna, Jason, Dalton, Darcey, Katie and Grady. I know that nothing will fill the hole in your heart that Jim’s passing leaves you. I hope you can find comfort and laughs in the memories of all the good times. I love you all very much.

Rose Marie, Janet, Shawna, Jason & Families,

Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you in this difficult time. No words can express the empty feelings in our hearts. Jim was a loving husband, a devoted father and his grandchildren were his pride and joy. When he talked about his family, his eyes lit up and he always had a big smile on his face. He had a great sense of humour and was able to make you smile without even trying. Jim was an important part of so many lives, he will be greatly missed.
In the difficult days ahead, may you always feel his hand on your shoulder and hear his laugh echo in your hearts.
May memories of Jim give support and comfort in the difficult days ahead.

Janet and the family,

Please accept my deepest condolences at this difficult time.

May his soul rest in paradise. He is a very proud dad, Janet, you took such good care..

In our prayers always.

I’m so sorry Rose, Shawna, Janet, and family. I have great memories of your dad making me a superb grilled-cheese sandwich over an open flame in your basement fireplace. He was such a nice man with a great smile and he’ll be greatly missed.

Rose, I am so sad to get the news of Jimmy’s passing. I can remember back to the days when Jimmy, Garry and Joe would come to Kirkland Lake for the moose hunt. We all knew they had their fingers crossed a moose would never show up. It was always wonderful to see Jimmy and the boys. His smile and that Irish sound in his voice and oh the stories he could tell. Please know that I am thinking of you, and the family at this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To my dear sister Rose, and my nieces Janet and Shawna (and your families).

Please know that I am thinking of you with much sadness as you grieve Jim’s passing. I will always remember Jim as a very devoted husband, a proud and caring father, and a super grandfather.
I am so thankful to have had such an amazing brother-in-law in my life. His heart of gold, infectious laugh, and his caring and easy going manner made it so easy to love and respect him.
He will truly be missed.
Over many years and without fail, Jim was always there for Andrew, Erin and myself whenever we needed him. I will always remain grateful and thankful.
Rest in peace Jim. Great memories of you will always remain in my heart.
Theresa

We are long time Cormac neighbors of the O’Grady family, having known Jim’s mom and dad. We have many fond memories of all of the children as they grew up and eventually moved away to have families of their own.

Like his siblings Jim was a friendly and engaging young man, quick to laugh and seemingly always in good humour.

We send our deepest condolences and will keep you and Jim in our prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. My sincerest condolences to the entire family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. Jim was a loving man and always made you feel welcome. We spent many happy times at your house, growing up and with our own kids.

We are sending all our love to each of you. Jim will be greatly missed!

Sincere condolences to Rose Marie, Janet, Shawna and the entire family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Love from the Hugh and Eva O’Grady family, Welland.

Ken and I have a 60 year history with Jim and right from the start we knew what a precious, kind, fun – loving person he was! – a wonderful addition to our Yantha family. He was always so interested in everything we were up to and always ready to lend a helping hand wherever he could. We will miss him so much and are so saddened by his passing but we know it was his time. We rest assured that he is with his maker.
Rose, Janet and Shawna, you did everything possible to make Jim’s last leg of his earthly journey as comfortable, loving, patient and kind as possible – good for you, you got him home!
Dalton, Darcey, Jason, Katie and Grady, you took up the slack at home so Janet and Shawna could help Rose to be there daily to ensure that Jim was well cared for and to feed him every meal when he was no longer able to feed himself. This was all a labour of love! Jim was a kind and caring person , who was so proud of his family and you did not let him down!
Jim was a proud O’Grady and we know that you, his brothers and sisters will miss greatly him and we send our condolences to you all.
On behalf of all of us who loved Jim so much we issue a grateful thank you to you Rose! Your love and care was selfless!
We love you all so much!
Barb and Ken Gutz

My condolences to you Rosemarie and family, there aren’t enough words to say how it was a pleasure to serve you and your husband. He will be missed! Although I did not know Mr. O’Grady all that well. I would like to Thank you for your unselfish and devoted love for him. You visited everyday, twice and maybe thrice. I had the great pleasure of meeting you and I will miss your warm greetings! You will remain on my prayer list for strength, and comfort during this difficult time.
Regards
Karlene

Dear Rose Marie, Janet and Shawna,
Nancy and I were so very saddened to hear about the passing of Jim.
We have so many fun memories, of times together with you all … our camping trips are some of my favourite childhood memories.
Take comfort in those memories and in all the outpouring of Love from all who Loved him.

I recited this poem for my dad. Perhaps you will find a little comfort in these words …

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am diamond glints on snow
I am golden sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you wake in morning’s hush
I am that swift uplifting rush
A quiet bird in circled light
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there I did not die

Soar high Jim … you are free
Much Love, Nancy and Julie

Our sympathy to you Rose and family. Very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. May he rest in peace. God Bless.
Leonard/Leona Bielawski.

The best words I can think of to describe Uncle Jimmy are jovial and kind. And I remember his great laugh, and I have wonderful memories of things like ripping up the lawn as we kids “golfed” on it, and watching hockey in the basement.

Our deepest condolences to Rose Marie, Janet, Shawna and their families, and to all those on the O’Grady side.

Erin and Jason Walin
