The death of James "Jim" Watson Smart, 88, of Baie Verte, occurred at the Sackville Memorial Hospital on Friday, March 13, 2015.  Born in Scotland, Jim was a son of the late Mathis and Annie (Kerpatrick) Smart.

Jim had worked as a welder at Robb Engineering in Amherst for 36 years.  He was an avid fisherman and hunter.  Jim was very well known for his extensive garden and was proud to feed his family off the land.  He loved four wheeling, and working with his tractor.  He could usually be found out at the camp or in the woods.  He was a lifetime member of the Port Elgin Masonic Lodge.


He will be dearly missed by his six children Jeanette (Fergie Lawson) Fury, Walton's Beach, Ian (Shirley), Anderson Settlement, Mike, Coburg, Maureen (Lorne) Allen, Baie Verte, Glenn (Tara), Baie Verte, Shaun (Sheri), Sackville; seventeen grandchildren; twenty-four great grandchildren; one great great grandson; special nieces and nephews, Anne, Laurie, Neil, Randy, Shelley, Vicki and Wanda.

Besides his parents, Jim was predeceased by his wife, Audrey (Simpson); a sister Annie Copp, and half brothers Watson, Bob and Jack Steele.


Arrangements are under the guidance and care of Jones Funeral Home, Port Elgin Chapel, (538-2241).  Cremation has taken place.  Honoring Jim's request, there is to be no visitation.  A memorial service will be held, Sunday, March 22, 2015 at 2 pm from St. James United Church, Baie Verte.

Donations in memory of Jim may be made to the Westford Nursing Home or a charity of the donor's choice.
