Rev James Allsop

September 25, 1945 - May 7, 2020


PeaPeacefully, at St. Joseph’s Villa on May 7, 2020 in his 75th year, after suffering a severe stroke, Jim went to be with His Lord. Jim worked with the United Church of Canada both as a social worker in Glace Bay N.S. and in the downtown mission in Windsor ON, and as an ordained minister serving congregations in southwestern and central Ontario. He was an avid stamp-collector and was involved in a variety of philatelic organizations. He was a beloved brother of (Rev. Dr.) John ( Karen) Allsop of Waterdown, a dear uncle to Sarah (Greg) Money of Fisherville ON , Laura (Steve) Kuhn of Ottawa ON and Dave (Kendra) Allsop of Ottawa ON and a special cousin to Norman Salt (Dubai U.A.E.), Marion (John) McTavish of Huntsville, ON and Keith (Mary) Salt of Mississauga. Our thanks to the kind, generous people of St. John U.C. (Hamilton) where Jim attended for many years, to the good people of St. Paul’s. U.C. (Dundas) and to the caring staff at St. Joseph’ s Villa. A family service will be held at St. John United Church, Hamilton, ON, with interment at the Ebenezer Cemetery, Campbellville ,ON. If desired, memorial donations may be made to St. John United Church, Wesley Urban Ministries, or a charity of your choice.

Pastor John, Karen and family - I am saddened to hear of Jim's passing but know he is celebrating with the Lord he served so faithfully. I remember meeting him at the Christian book store on Royal York and having lunch way back in the early 80's. He was a caring man and will be missed.
