Jim was predeceased by his parents Stanley and Susie Crewe, and his father in law, Ralph Patey. Jim was a long time businessman in Port aux Basques. His passions in life were his family and friends, music, and his precious dog, Buckle. He loved people coming into the store and back to his office for a chat and a smoke. Jim was a founding and original member of the Ducats for many years and loved every minute of it. He loved to tell stories of the Ducats when they were travelling on the road, his face would just light up. The family would like to thank Dr. Thomas, Angie, and the nurses and staff of Dr. Charles L. Legrow Health Center, and a big thank you to Barry Musseau for being with Jim during his time of need.
