James “Jim” Harley Johnson, aged 88 years of Moose Jaw, SK passed away on Wednesday, August 21st, 2019 surrounded by his family. Jim was born in Moose Jaw on July 18th, 1931. The family lived in Moose Jaw, except for a few years in Weyburn, SK, until his passing. Jim married Esther Herber, the love of his life, on October 31st, 1953 and together they raised 5 wonderful children. Jim would do anything for his family. Plumbing was his chosen trade, working at various companies throughout the city. He also had a great knowledge of carpentry, electrical and anything mechanical. He would always be there to help, and his work ethic was impeccable. He willingly gave of himself to help anyone in need.
