March 15, 1941 – March 25, 2022

It is with great sadness that the family of Jim Bolton announce his passing at R.I.H. on March 25.

Jim was born to Jim Sr. and Grace (Goldie) on March 15, 1941 in New Westminster B.C.

Jim is lovingly remembered by his wife (Beth) of 62 years; sons Jim and Jerry; daughter Linda; granddaughter Jesse (Mike) and great grandson Wyatt. Jim is also survived by his brother Pat, Mike (Vicki) and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Jim is predeceased by his parents Jim and Grace, sister in law (Carol) and son in law (Darcy).

Jim followed his family footsteps in the electrical business and became an electrician in 1969. He worked on many big projects like the Mica dam and the Revelstoke dam.

After he and Beth traveled to Oshawa, Ontario and he worked at the GM Plant. After returning to B.C.  he started his own electrical company for a few years. The last 10 years of his career he worked at the oil sands in Fort McMurray. He always enjoyed his adventures in his working career.

In Jim’s earlier years he took interests in fishing, hunting,  snowmobiling and home renovations. Jim and Beth also loved to go camping with a pet dog. Closer to his retirement they bought a place in Yuma, Arizona and would travel by motorhome every winter. Other interests Jim enjoyed was his chickens and horse and trailer shopping with his granddaughter Jesse.

A special thanks to the many doctors and 6 south nurses who cared for him for two months. A celebration of life will be held at the family farm in Chase this summer. Announcements will be made closer to the date.

Condolences may be sent to the family at Kamloops Funeral Home.
