Jim Fay

About Me

It is with great sadness that we announce that Jim passed away this Canadian Thanksgiving weekend only a few days shy of his 45th birthday. Jim was an absolute top bloke, ace folk singer and a devoted husband and Dad. He was friendly with so many that his demise has affected a lot of people throughout the country and abroad and is reflected in the level of support shown to Marie, Seamus and his wider family from the Funeral Home to the Church, the wake and a series of memorial gigs from Toronto to PEI and Ireland.
