ter, he passed away Jan 16,
2015 at St.  Joseph’s Hospital in
Estevan at the age of 86 with

Virden, Manitoba along with
four brothers.     

   In 1956 Jim moved his young
family to Estevan where he
would work in the oilfield. A few
years later he and George
McGillicky started Coulter &
McGillicky Sales & Service.
They ran a very successful
business until retiring in 1997.

        Jim was a builder and a fixer, there was no job he wouldn’t
tackle. He built things as small as bird houses to large oilfield
treaters and his own houses.

ly & friends. He was always ready to hunt, fish, golf, curl and
play cards. He was a great host, always making sure you had a
beer, coffee, tea or drink of your choice in your hand and never
a shortage of food to go with it.
