Alexander, James
August 14, 1944 – June 26, 2011.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James Alexander, after a brave battle on Sunday June 26th at William Osler Brampton Civic Hospital. Beloved husband of Catherine for over 44 years, father of Kelly (Todd), Dawn (Kevin) and Grandad of Sydnee & Wyatt. The most caring person who always put others before himself; you will be sadly missed by many and will always be in our hearts. A Memorial Service for family and friends will be held at Branch 609 Royal Canadian Legion, 1133 Queen Street E., Brampton 905-453-1488 on Sunday July 3rd, 2011 at 2p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to William Osler Health Foundation (Oncology) would be appreciated.

Dear Dawn and Family,
The loss of your dad James leaves a heartache no one can heal, but the love you have shared leaves memories no one can steal.
If only tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, You could walk right up to Heaven and bring him home again.
My heart breaks for you and your entire family.
