James Robert ‘Jim’ Kitchen, a resident of Tupperville, passed away peacefully and surrounded by his family at the CKHA – Sydenham Campus on Sunday, March 8, 2020 at the age of 74.
Jim is the son of the late Garnet James Kitchen & Ina Elina Kitchen and loved son in law to the late Rev JW Fletcher and Phyllis Fletcher. Beloved husband of Judy (Fletcher). Loving father of Kristy Toulouse (Dave) and Karen Miller. Awesome Papa to Meg, Luke and Kennedy. Jim ‘MacGyver’ Kitchen had retired from the Imperial Oil Refinery in Sarnia.
He loved Bluegrass music, tractor pulls, his Mini Cooper S and most of all his grandchildren. He was the kind of papa to teach his oldest granddaughter to drive stick shift on the mini, attend and watch hockey and baseball with his grandson and next day go watch his youngest granddaughter perform ballet.
