September 30, 1935 - November 29, 2024
It is with great sadness that the family of the late James Genge announce his passing at the Charles S. Curtis Memorial Hospital in St. Anthony on November 29, 2024 at the age of 89 years.
Anyone who knew Jim, knows that he worked hard to provide for his family throughout his life. Jim wore many hats; electrician, dump truck driver, woodcutter, and fishing captain. No matter what job he had at any particular moment- everyone spoke about how hard of a worker he was, and his “never quit” attitude.
What Jim loved most was being with his family. He enjoyed many camping trips, spending time at his cabin in Round Pond, and trout fishing in 10 Mile Pond. Jim loved hearing about all of his children, grandchildren, sibling, and how their families were doing.
He was known to be a bit of a braggard at times, usually exaggerating a little bit when telling tales to others. This was how Jim showed his love- it was his pride in his family. You knew it was the most important thing in his life. This is how Jim should be remembered.
Jim will forever be remembered and missed by his Children: Randy (Dale), Julie (Bruce), Wade (Edith), Rona, Cassie (Garf); Grandchildren: Bruce, Jadean, Edith, Jolene, Nyiesha, Dax, Sammi, Blair; Greatgrandchildren: Rebecca, Ashton, Ryan, Eric, Jaden, Zander, Kyla, Luke, Emma, Carter, Claira, and special grandson: Jason.
He will also be remembered by his siblings: Rufus, Cecil (Christine), Marion, Bernice, Eleanor (Arthur), Mildred (Cyril), Ren (Bertha); Sister-in-law: Vivian, and their families.
Jim is predeceased by his Wife: Susan, Parents: Walter and Minnie; Brother: Simeon; and brothers and sisters-in-law: Sophia, Olivia, Steve, Winston, and Bob.
The family would like to send many thanks to the staff of the Curtis Memorial Hospital for all the compassionate care during Jim’s last four months. He loved each and every one of you dearly.
We would also like to send a very special thanks to Aunt Eleanor who spent many hours caring for her dear brother, and Rev. Canon Vernon Short for his many visits to Jim over the past few years.
Visitation will take place from St. Matthews Anglican Church in Anchor Point on Monday, December 2, 2024 with the family service to begin at 7:00 PM. The funeral service will take place on Tuesday, December 3, 2024 at 11:00 AM with Rev. Canon Vernon Short officiating. Interment to follow in the New Anchor Point Cemetery.
Funeral arrangements entrusted to Kerry M. Fillatre Funeral Home, St. Anthony and Roddickton, Lee Nippard, Funeral Director.
