We Remember
MACLEAN, Jim MacDonald
November 17, 1930 — July 19, 2017

James was born to John and Margaret MacLean on November 17, 1930 in Greenock, Scotland and immigrated to Canada over 55 years ago.

He loved all of God’s creatures, especially West Highland White Terriers. Jim is predeceased by his wife Marion (2015). He is survived by his sister Elizabeth Shaw; brother Frank MacLean; two nephews and five nieces: Freeman Hodgins, James MacLean, Myla Hodgins, Carol and Margaret Houston, Linda and Lorna Shaw; as well as sister-in-law Elizabeth MacLean.

Our condolences to the family of Jim. Jim you will always be remembered, for your friendship and wonderful positive attitude. You were an inspiration to us all to appreciate life and be thankful for all that life gives us. We only knew you for a few years but you will remain in our hearts forever.
We are saddend to learn of JIm’s passing. Maggie & Ian have known JIm for over 5 years as we were all members of Kelowna Scottish Country Dancers. Jim loved his Scottish dancing. He was such a lovely man, a friend who had a great sense of humour, and had such a wonderful attitude. Jim will be missed by his fellow dancers at KSCD.
Ian & Maggie were saddend to hear of JIm’s passing. Ian & Maggie knew Jim for over 5 years as we were all members of Kelowna Scottish Country Dancers. Jim loved his Scottish dancing. He was a well-known dancer at KSCD for over 10 years and will be missed by all for his friendliness, his humour and get-up-and-go!
Deepest condolences to Jim’s family.
As a fellow Scot, from just outside Glasgow, next to Canada, Jim loved his association with his homeland. He was a keen Scottish Country Dancer and always enjoyed the opportunity to sing Scottish songs and attend Scottish gatherings. He had a great sense of humor and we will miss his cheery greetings at dancing. Jim will be remembered as a true Christian who loved his lord and was always willing to lend a hand when called upon.
Our regrets to all his relatives both here and across the sea.
I won’t be able to make it to the service but I’m keeping Jim in my thoughts at this time. In spite of all he had to deal with Jim was always cheery. He was a dancer until the end and I’m sure that he’ll be leading a reel or two up there.

Our sincerest condolences to the family, we have always considered Jim as part of ours. One of Jim’s legacies will always be his love for all creatures great and small, and his love for knowledge. No doubt there will be lots of singing and dancing in heaven for Jim
So sorry to hear about Jim’s passing after 10 years of enjoying his company at St. George’s Church and at the Seniors Association. He will be missed by his many friends.
We knew Jim as a member of the Scottish Country Dance group. Jim was an inspiration. Even with his hearing and eyesight problems once he knew what to do he did it!
Will always remember you kind and caring ways. Rest in peace.
Our sincere condolences to Jim’s beloved family. A couple of us got to know Jim very well on the trip to Israel in the spring of this year and it was quite apparent that he was a wonderful man who will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. We feel so happy that Jim go to see the Holy Land prior to him going to be with our Lord – what a blessing for all of us! Shalom!
We were on the Israel tour with Jim this past Spring. What a remarkable man! We are so happy that he was able to visit the Holy Land. Jim enjoyed life and is now enjoying Heaven.
May God bless you all.
