McCULLEY. Stanley James (February 16, 1943 - June 27, 2018)
"Our Salty Sailor decided to leave us behind and join the angels. On June 27, 2018, Rose lost the love of her life of 51 years, her best friend and the father of their children. Jim was the support for the family and the very core of our existence. Jim spent 25 years in the Navy, almost half that time spent on the submarines. Jim always said submariners have more fun under water- but we doubt that. All of Jim's postings in the navy are too numerous to mention. Jim was a dedicated husband and an amazing father to Leona (Lou), Colin (Kim), Bobbie and Jim. He leaves behind 6 grandchildren, Mike and Matthew Horvath, Amanda, Bradley and Davis McCulley and Nicole Buckle. Jim was the first born in a large wonderful family and leaves his brothers and sisters, Ken (Linda), Mary (George), Barbara (Terry), Valerie (Robin) and Donna (Kim). He will be missed by many nieces and nephews, all of whom loved him dearly. Jim also had a close relationships with friends and neighbours and former sailors. Jim was also an amazing salesman. At 7 years old he started selling newspapers and gladiolus at the train station in his home town of Portage La Prairie. While in Nanaimo, Jim was a regular vendor at the Cedar Farm Market and was best known as the Maritime Mustard Pickle man. In 2012, Jim was awarded the Queens Diamond Jubilee medal. In Dad's navy days, He was away at sea for long periods of time but when he came home he spent quality time with his family. The children always ask,"Dad where are we going?" His response was always "There and back" Jim was cared for at the Nanaimo Regional Hospital in particular the caring nursing staff in the Palliative unit. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Cancer Foundation would be appreciated. Fairwinds and following seas Big Guy, we love you.
