It is with sadness that we learn of the passing of one of our longest serving members, James Moore Sr. After a short illness Jim passed away in Lachute Qc this past Saturday August 24th, 2019.

This photo was taken of Jim (left), his long time friend Ken Rapley (middle) and Jim's son Jimmy Jr.

The club is forever grateful to his contributions over the years, serving the executive as director and president on more than one occasion of his 47 year membership in the AFGC (Ascension Fish & Game Club). One of his more memorable contributions was the initiation and management of the construction of Cabin 4 for the millennium celebration of our organizations founding. In 2005 the project was completed and a club dinner was held at Lac Vert (Curieres) with members attending. Jim inspired many visitors to join and/or revisit the club over the years, and attended every AGM until 2018.

His two son's Jimmy Jr., and Campbell frequented and fished the lake with their Dad from an early age, making the trip as often as possible to join Alec and John, (their cousins), friends and family. Adding to Jim's legacy this past May with Campbell produced a good fish, his last.

Predeceasing him was his wife of many years Barbara, and his partner Jean Dorken. He has now joined others including his brother Albany (2009) and his long time friend Ken Rapley (2016). Gone but never forgotten, we shall think of Jim on a warm summer night as we approach the White Rocks, Hepburn Island and other favourite spots of his and ours.
