It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of James Vincent Gentile, in his 79th year, on March 6, 2025. James passed away peacefully at Lakeridge Hospital, Oshawa.
Beloved husband of Jocelyne Gentile (Fournier), devoted father to Christine (Jim), predeceased by his son Vincent. Lovingly adored and remembered by his grandchildren Alexandra, Samantha and Ryan. Predeceased by his parents, Madeleine & Salvatore Gentile and siblings Gail Shore and Gerry Gentile. James will be missed by his many extended family, including his nieces and nephews, all of whom he held near and dear to his heart.
James flourished & enjoyed his British Sports Car business, Roadsport, and later became an accomplished carpenter. He enjoyed numerous hunting and fishing adventures over the years, including those with his family. His wittiness, sense of humour and straight forward attitude was the center of who he was. He will be truly missed.
In memory of James and in lieu of flowers, donations to Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated by the Family.
