James Alexander Hamilton MacFadzean

Jim was the only child of James MacFadzean and Rachel Wilson Hamilton, both of Ayrshire, Scotland.

Happiness for Jim was the companionship of his beloved wife and best friend Katherine McCallum, with whom he shared many joys and interests including extensive overseas travel and a wide appreciation of classical music.

From a previous marriage to Wendy, Jim was the father of three wonderful children - Monica, Peter (Joanna), Matthew (Natalie). He was the proud grandfather of Clea, Torin, Duggan, Eamonn, and Robin.

For a number of years, Jim served as Secretary of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada before becoming founder and President of the Round Table Club of Toronto, a highly regarded public affairs forum.

He had a lifetime interest in spirituality and, as a masters student, found time to obtain a diploma in Theology from Trinity College, Toronto, where he met Katherine, and a Masters of Arts degree in spirituality from Regis College, Toronto.

A service will be held at The Cathedral Church of All Saints in Halifax on Wednesday February 19th at 2:00pm followed by a reception for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations to Symphony Nova Scotia or to The Victorian Order of Nurses, Halifax branch, would be much appreciated. His family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to Joanne Lamb and Jessie Meredith of the VON, and also to the staff of the palliative care unit of the Victoria General Hospital who gave him such gentle and loving attention.
