JAMES JAWORSKI
Jim is survived by his sisters, Marie and Patricia, and his niece Reagan and nephew Carson.
Jim grew up in River Heights and attended St. Ignatius, St. John Brebeuf and Kelvin High School. Jim had a passion for Winnipeg Transit and ran an unofficial website for many years. He was a strong advocate for rapid transit and hoped to see his dream realized. Jim worked at the Federal Department of Agriculture for a number of years and later enjoyed volunteer work at the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba.
Cremation has taken place and a private family service was held at Cropo Funeral Chapel. In keeping with Jim's wishes he will be buried alongside his maternal Baba Jessie at Holy Ghost Cemetery.
Donations in Jim's memory may be made to the Mood Disorder Association of Manitoba.

I knew Jim from when I used to work at MHERC, he was such a kind man. He came into the library almost everyday and I enjoyed our conversations and loved hid genuine joy of Wikipedia. I haven't talked to him since 2019, but I think of him often. He was genuinely a nice guy. My condolences to his family and close friends.

I didn't work closely with Jim or know him well but I do sincerely offer my condolences to Jim's family and friends. Losing someone is hard but even harder when they were entitled to so many more years of life. - Posted by: Deanna Zaretski (Colleague at AAFC ) on: Nov 03, 2021

When I was a teenager and young adult, I remember having interesting discussions with Jim on online forums about transit and urbanism in Winnipeg. We both cared about the city and making it better. He will be missed. RIP. - Posted by: Lee (Fellow Urbanist) on: Oct 30, 2021
