Condolences to Jim's family and friends. I worked for him at 5 Traffic, such a gentleman who looked after us and had our backs. I often drove by his house in the Guild (my patrol area for a time) to say hello if he was outside doing yard work. Pretty sure he didn't remember my name, but Jim was always happy to have a chat.

In 1973 Sgt. Fenn conducted my road test to obtain my blue card.. I never directly worked for Jim but every by chance meeting afterwards he always addressed me by my first name directly. He was one of the finest men I ever encountered. My heart felt condolences to Jim's family.

Graham Whitehead posted a condolence
If you had never met Jimmy Fenn, you just need to read the comments of officers that worked for him. He was my Staff Sgt. at 5 Traffic. The way he treated the officers on his platoon was second to none. In return, we had nothing but respect for him. He was the standard all supervisors hoped to attain. He will be remembered as one of the finest people to have worked for the Toronto Police.

Michael Matic posted a condolence
My heartfelt prayers and condolences to the extended Fenn Family. Staff Sergeant Jimmy Fenn was my first TPS Staff, suffice it to say an exceptional police officer, role model, leader and principled man that left a positive impression on all who crossed his path. He left me with many memorable moments, shared laughs, and to say Jimmy always had your back would be an understatement. He embodied and represented all the best and most genuine qualities of what constitutes a police leader of character and professionalism. I am thankful to have known Staff Fenn and often share stories of the impressions he left upon myself with my son. In that light, his memory will remain in the hearts and minds of my family and I'm sure all who knew him... Rest In Peace Staff Fenn

Tony Baker posted a condolence
I echo the sentiments of my many past Police colleagues in recognizing Jimmy Fenn as indeed a true gentleman. He was a wonderful, loving, and caring man who made a lasting impact on me and all the others he served alongside on the Metro Police. Thanks Jimmy, you have left us but not before you did your part in making a positive difference in the lives of all who knew you. In the words of Alfred Lord Tennyson you can say, "I am a part of all that I have met."

James Fenn, Kind, understanding, patient, and admired. More words can be said. Jim was my platoon S/Sgt. Always someone you could reach out to, always making you feel comfortable in any situation. So well liked that on his retirement the platoon sent him and his wife Christena on a vacation to Barbados. It was a privilege to have been able to work alongside such a fine man. He will surely be missed. My condolences are heart felt and go out to the family.

Ed Hoey posted a condolence
I'm saddened to read about Jim's passing. As everyone has said Jim was the ultimate gentleman. He was my Sergeant at 14 Division, and I recall very well a few of the incidents I was involved with along with him. He was the most decent, honest and upright man I worked for. Thank you Jim for your example. My sincere condolences to the Fenn family.

Jim was indeed a gentleman. I recall his patience when I was a boy and he worked at Canada Packers in Wiarton. He was willing to take time to let me watch and learn about their processes, letting me sample the butter fresh from the churn. Later, as a policeman, he was a guiding light and a great model to emulate. I will always think kindly of him.

Chris, Sandy and the entire family, I often wondered how such a nice man could have been a police officer in Toronto, and from reading the condolences above, it sounds like that kindness made him a great police officer. I always enjoyed his visits to my office and Chris asking "What stories did he tell you this time?" He truly was one of the good ones. My deepest sympathies go out to you, Brent
