ALLISON: Brian James of Thorndale

Allison, Brian W300

Passed away peacefully at St. Joseph’s Hospice, London on Friday, September 27, 2024 at the age of 66. Dear brother and brother-in-law of Mary and Dave Miles, and Kevin and Kathy Allison. Fondly remembered by his nieces and nephews, Ashley, Michael; Rachel, and Ian. Predeceased by his parents Albert and Helen (Logan) Allison.

Brian was considered one of the hardest workers around, he was very skilled in his craft as a backhoe operator working for many years at J-Mar Electrical, Thorndale and Erth Power Corporation, Ingersoll. In his free time Brian enjoyed fishing, golf, and baseball, particularly pitching for the Thorndale Tribe slow-pitch team. Brian will be greatly missed by all who knew him especially while having a cold beer in the garage, watching sports with his brother and friends.

The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the doctors and staff at LHSC –University Hospital and the team at the St. Joseph’s Hospice, London for their care and compassion provided to Brian during his stays.

Cremation has taken place. A come and go celebration of Brian’s life will be held at Slo Pitch City, 2156 Slo Pitch Rd, Dorchester on Saturday, October 26, 2024 from 1 – 4 PM.

Donations to St. Joseph’s Hospice, London would be appreciated by the family.
