SCANDRETT, James Herbert Hodgson - November 27, 1921 - December 14, 2018
Peacefully and surrounded by the love of his family, we announce the passing of our dear father, Jim Scandrett just 18 days after his 97th birthday.
Jim was predeceased by his beloved wife and best friend of 64 years, Phyllis (Hanley).
He will be greatly missed by his four children Peter (Christina), Barbara Stanton (Warren 2001), Martha and Jane Manning. He was the adored "OPA" of Catherine (Adrian), Robert (Diheen), Jamie, Ellie, and Evan Manning, David, (Kim), Heather, Luke (Kenny), Amy (Dave), and Christopher Stanton, Andrea (Neil, Saskia and Oskar Bulstrode).
Jim grew up in Toronto and attended Whitney School and Jarvis Collegiate.
An excellent cook, better than all of his children, Jim never saw a "pepper" he liked and he always found reason for ice cream. In 2015 he moved to his comfortable home at the Amica at the Balmoral Club.
We gratefully acknowledge and thank the entire staff for their kindness and support.
Jimmy never ceased to amaze. His optimism, sense of humour and generosity were part of his everyday life. He gave all of us a wonderful life.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the Spring of 2019.
If desired, donations made in memory of Dad to The Salvation Army or the Canadian Cancer Society would be welcomed.
