O'NEIL, Rev. Canon James Francis - D.D., LTh. - September 23, 1924 - September 10, 2020. Peacefully at Sunnybrook Hospital Toronto, after suffering a stroke.
Former Anglican Rector, St. Mary’s Richmond Hill, St. John’s York Mills and Chaplain St. John’s Rehabilitation Hospital.
Husband of Jean, father of Peter (Carmel) and Mary (Stephen Gilbert).
Grandfather of Erin, Rachel and Sienna.
A Navy veteran whose ship was torpedoed in the North Atlantic in 1944. He was inspired by his naval chaplain to enter the ministry. His deep spiritual belief and love of people is well remembered. He would be the first to remind us, “We don’t know the whole story…” and always gave the benefit of the doubt to others. He was a beloved parish priest.
Loved always.
There will be a private family graveside service.
