DuCheneau, James Edward: October 23, 1935 Hamilton, Ont - February 16, 2014 Penticton, BC It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Jim, on February 16th, 2014 at Penticton Regional Hospital. Jim was predeceased by his wife Marilyn, brother Fred, sister Beverley and brother in law Bob. Beloved by: Daughter Marina (Allan), grandchildren Vanessa and Olivia Pavan of Grand Forks BC; sister Barbara Nixon of Hamilton Ont; Brother in law Ted Fuller of Hamilton Ont; and partner Edna Washburn of Penticton BC. Jim was a proud veteran of the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada. 2nd Battalion, a Shriner and a Mason. Throughout Jim's life he was passionate about curling, golfing, swimming, diving and umpiring. His devotion to working many years within the Hotel, Restaurant and Resort business led Jim to various destinations of BC including Ponderosa Point in Kaleden, BC which occupied eight years of Jim's time in the Okanagan. Jim had called Penticton his home, for 25 years. Carpenter by trade, but Jack of all trades, Jim kept his mind active building model ships, puzzles and tinkering amongst his collection of outdoor fountains. Jim liked to apply his sharp worldly knowledge during his evening episodes of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. His easy going, caring, kind soul will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. In honoring Jim's wishes there will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Diabetic Association or the Shriner Hospital for Children in memory of Jim.
