Obituary of Jim Adamack

James "Jim" Adamack of Limerick, SK, passed away peacefully at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Gravelbourg, SK, on September 3, 2024. Born on March 17, 1943, in Limerick, he was the second son of George and Irene (Tweed) Adamack. On November 15, 1969, Jim married Doreen Embury, and they shared a deep love for farming. In 1973, they welcomed their only son, Waylon.

Jim worked alongside his brother Bob and later with his nephew Wade, taking pride in mixed farming and raising cattle. Known for his hard work and ingenuity, Jim had a talent for repairs, building, welding, and inventing things to make life on the farm easier. He enjoyed playing baseball with the Flintoff team, curling in numerous bonspiels, and playing hockey in his younger years. He also loved hunting, and fishing, and always kept the freezer stocked with fish.

Jim's greatest joy came from visiting Waylon and his grandsons Brayden, Brody, and Parker. After suffering a major heart attack in 2017, he was no longer able to make the trip, but eagerly awaited their visits.

Jim will be dearly missed by his wife Doreen; son Waylon (Chelsey) Adamack; grandsons Brayden, Brody, and Parker; sister Josephine (Rick) Tonita, nieces Jodie Tonita and  Joanne (Grant) Grobman, great niece Molly Grobman; sister Jacie Adamack; sister-in-law Gwen Adamack, niece Wanda (Alain) Charbonneau, great niece Lauren Charbonneau. He was predeceased by his parents George and Irene, and brother Bob and nephew Wade.

A Celebration of Jim’s Life will be held on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at 2:00 pm at Piche Hawkins Grondin Funeral Chapel in Assiniboia, SK, with interment at Mount Hope Cemetery.
