The family of Jim Piercey of Grand Bank are heartbroken to announce his passing on January 1, 2022 at the age of 65 years.

Jim was a devoted family man and was fiercely loved by his family and by many who knew him. An avid musician, he was a familiar fixture in the local music scene. It was a pleasure of his to play and listen to music with his friends, notably the Charlie’s Bar Band. He helped to organize dozens of shows and was often the first to volunteer to assist when a helping hand was needed. He loved to have a good time and no good time was complete without good music.

Outside of his love of music, Jim was also well-known through his varied careers and community involvement. He worked in many different fields and his work allowed the opportunity to meet new people and travel to places throughout the world. The community is a better place because of his contribution.

He leaves to mourn his loving and devoted wife of 42 years, Gertie; his children Philip (Maegan Marshall) and Susan Furlong (John); the apple of his eye, his grandson and namesake, Jimmy Furlong; his two sisters Carolyn Veerassamy (Raj) and Glenda Piercey; brothers and sisters-in-law, Josephine and Ray Wilkinson; Rose and Tommy Norris; Anne Cummings; John and Gloria Kent; Kathleen and Raymond Brophy; Pat and Ranee Kent; Peter Kent; and, Billy Kent; many nieces and nephews, and an absolutely expansive network of friends from across the world.

Jim was predeceased by his father and mother, Montford and Georgina Piercey, his father and mother in-law Peter and Stephanie Kent, his sister-in-law Hannah Hayden and his brothers-in-law Randell Hayden and Dick Cummings.

As per Jim’s request, no public visitation will be held.
