He had been in ill health for some time. Jim Metcalfe was a familiar figure to a great many Almonte resident. having been in the dairy business since 1945 he was well known both through his business contacts and his deep involvement with the Almonte Lions Club. Born in Almonte on June 12, 1927, he was a son of the late W. A. (Barney) Metcalfe who predeceased him of March 7th of this year and his wife, the late Mary Warren who predeceased him in 1960. Having received his education in Almonte public and secondary schools, Jim went directly into the family business following graduation. On August 28, 1951, he was married in Almonte Presbyterian Church to the former Eileen Elizabeth New, who survives. Also surviving are three sons: J. Edward (Ted), George A., and John A., all of Almonte, and a daughter, Sharon Ann of Carleton Place. He is survived as well by two sisters, Beth Wood of Toronto and Reta George of Toronto and Liverpool, England. Much of Mr. Metcalfe's spare time was spent serving with the Almonte Lion Club. He joined the organization in 1951, quickly becoming Lion Tamer, a position he held for many years. He served as club president in 1956-57 and served as secretary for the past eight consecutive years prior to his death. It was in this capacity that Jim earned considerable respect both from his fellow club members and through District A-4. In 1972 he was presented with a special Award by Governor Mack Hayes of Shawville as having been judged the best secretary in the District (covering all of Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec) and in 1976 Governor Morley James of Carleton Place presented Jim with the special Governor's Appreciation Award in recognition of 25 years service to Lionism and the community. Lions from all over the District attended a special gathering at the Gamble & Comba Funeral Home last Sunday evening. Funeral services for Mr Metcalfe were held at the funeral home on Monday, December 12th at 2.00 p.m. Rev Archie Manson conducted the services with interment at Auld Kirk Cemetery.
