HARMAN, James John - June 17, 1928 - March 8, 2018 Quietly in the morning of Thursday, March 8, 2018, at Toronto East General/Michael Garron Hospital.
Son of Mina Frizzell (Ramsden) and James Thomas Harman of Toronto, born in Detroit, Michigan.

Beloved father in law of Biserka Livaja. Treasured grandfather of Cinema and Dylan Harman Livaja, and of Tanya Harman Lagness.
Also great-grandfather of Tanya's daughter Allie. At 17, service in the US Navy gave Jim memories and experiences that he took with him throughout life, and it was later in the Canadian Federal Public Service that Jim reached out and touched so many others' lives as a Project Officer with the Trade Fairs and Missions branch.
Known the world over for his ability to make friends and organize, at home he was known by all as a kind and gentle man always ready to bring his tools along to help.
