Obituary of James Dittmer

It is with great sadness that the family of Jim Dittmer announces his passing, on October 20, 2021 at the age of 81. Reunited with his late wife, Irene, with whom he shared over 58 years of marriage. Jim will be lovingly remembered by his children, Jimmy (Andrea), Dawn Falkner (Rick), and Rob (Hanoch). James will also be fondly remembered by his three grandchildren, Ricky (Michelle), Christopher (Chantelle), Justin (Brandon), and his 11 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Donna Roy (John). Predeceased by his parents, Lucille and Albert Dittmer. Jim dedicated his career to Chrysler Canada where he worked over 34 years. He was an avid sports fan who spent many years coaching Little League baseball. James spent most of his time in the garden while listening to Frank Sinatra and Barbara Streisand. We will miss your sense of humor and outlook on life.
