Even though I never had the privilege to meet James Alexander Timmins, I know that he was a good man. I know this because I worked with his son Alex (Jr.) to the close of our public health careers in April, 2007. If it be true that apples can tell you about the quality of the tree, Alex (Sr.) was a solid citizen, a fun father, an honourable man – a true example to his family, friends and community. Over the five years Alex (Jr.) and I worked together, he would tell me of the activities and adventures he had shared with his father over their many years, of the war service his father had (apparently reluctantly) told him of in Europe and of the enjoyment Alex (Sr.) received whenever the family gathered about. My colleague shared these stories with a decided warmth and enthusiasm â the kind of warmth and enthusiasm which can only come with love and earned respect. Helen and I are very sorry for the familyâs loss and send our warmest condolences! ⦠and we apologize for not being able to be with the family at this time. Alexander Timmins (Sr.) will be missed. Kirkland Lake will miss him, too. God rest his soul!
