Born in Glace Bay NS, Jim joined the Army at age 16. He was a former 3 RCHA Gunner and PERI who made quite a name for himself as a boxer when he fought his way to becoming the CAF and national heavyweight champion in 1962. He attended Gp 2 Course in Borden in 61 and completed his Gp 3 course in 62. He had boxed his way from middle to heavyweight over the years. I had the joy of a retired friendship with Jimmy and can tell you that he loved living along the Welland Canal in the Niagara Peninsula. He was a huge supporter of any and all Korea Veteran ceremonies in Southern Ontario. He was also very active in the local Legions in South-western Ontario. Although he spent the last few years of his Military Career as a Food Service Specialist, his true love was being an Army PTI. May he rest in peace and play “kick-ass” with all his fellow “jock-strappers” in the big gymnasium above! Blessings, Mike Comeau, CD
