Jim Peddie Scores A Hat Trick
Good guy, good Rotarian and good husband. Three Goals achieved!
Jim Peddie. pictured, gave his classification talk on Tuesday.
Kirkland Lake, Ontario was home for Jim. Son of a second generation gold miner, he tried the hard work of the miner and decided that if his future was not hockey, he was likely moving on. Move on he did. Deciphering Russian morse code in Alert and learning the military ways stuck with Jim but Civil Engineering called and project manager soon followed. Ft. Saskatchewan Business Park was a surveying and engineering challenge faced.
Life Insurance and Financial Advise has kept Jim busy and happy now for a number of years. His honest demeanor and willingness to assist have been helpful in his success.
Jim joined the Spruce Grove Rotary Club in 1993 as a charter member and served a year as President of the club. He's been with us since last year.
Jim and his wife Karen met when Jim responded to a "Shared Accommodation" ad in the paper. Serendipity strikes again! They have a daughter and also a son with a wedding coming up in July.
Hobbies include volunteering, collecting watches (when he has a minute) and coaching kids sports.
A help-book on retirement adjustment is a work in progress.
Thanks for the insights Jim.
