Obituary of James Dallner Cash
January 16, 1945 – July 28, 2019
After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Jim died at home with his wife at his side, on the morning of Sunday, July 28th, 2019, at the age of 74. On Wednesday, July 24th he had just celebrated his 48th wedding anniversary with the love of his life, Janet. Born in Stratford, Ontario to Ben (1997) and Mildred (2008). Sadly, he was predeceased by his infant daughter, Victoria Jane, (1977). Jim is survived by his brother-in-law, David Morris (Brenda Johansen) of Scarborough, niece, Julia Morris (Carl Pratt) of Toronto, and nephew, Tom Morris of Oakville.
Jim was a wonderful man. Sentimental, kind and generous, he had a small intimate circle of close friends from Sarnia and London. He was also the kind of person who made strong and cherished bonds with people, whether childhood friends or people he met throughout his life. He will be missed by his beloved friends of the 43rd Rovers.
When the Sir Adam Beck Collegiate Alumni needed help organizing their reunion, Jim was happy to help co-chair and eventually took on the responsibility of meticulously maintaining the database and expanding the attributes of over 7000 records, which was key to their annual singing auditoriums.
Jim was a long-term employee at Bell Canada until he retired in 1997.
The level of care given by the many doctors and nurses at London Health Sciences Centre – Cancer Unit, Parkwood Institute’s Complex Care Unit, Saint Elizabeth Health Care and the Byron Family Medical Centre is deeply appreciated by the Cash and Morris families. Their dedication and compassion truly made a difference.
A Celebration of Life will be conducted at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Thursday, August 1, 2019 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
