MEIKLE, James Edward. On July 19, 2005, in Toronto, at the age of ninety-four. Born in Montreal, Jim Meikle returned to the city following overseas service aboard the H.M.C.S. Huron during the war. He raised a family, built a successful electrical contracting business, which he ran for nearly thirty years, and took up gardening and golf. In 1976, he "retired" to Prince Edward County, Ontario, to become a strawberry farmer extraordinaire. Those who knew him will not surprised to learn that he was up and about, and in full charge, until just days before he passed away. Jim is survived by his wife of fifty-three years, Patricia (nee Mulcair); by his six children and their partners: Victoria; Susan and Ross Coyles; Jamie; Heather and Adrian Johnson; Thomas and Melanie Rockliff; Gregory and Rachel Jewell; and by his six grandchildren: Jamie and Gillian Coyles, Kieran and Devon Johnson, and Natasha and Dunham Meikle. He is also mourned by his sisters-in-law, Barbara Mulcair and Sister Anne-Mulcair C.N.D. Friends may call at the TRULL "NORTH TORONTO" FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION CENTRE, 2704 Yonge Street (5 blocks south of Lawrence), (416) 488-1101, on Thursday from 1:30 p.m. until time of service in the chapel at 2:30 p.m. Cremation to follow. Donations made to the Sunnybrook Foundation (2075 Bayview Ave., Toronto) would be appreciated by the family. Published in the Montreal Gazette from 7/20/2005 - 7/21/2005
