Obituary of Jamie Stewart Pinnell

Jamie Stewart Pinnell 1940 ~ 2013 a resident of Pouce Coupe, British Columbia passed away on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 in Dawson Creek after a battle with cancer at 72 years of age. No service will be held at his request. Jamie worked in mining for many years. He was a quiet and humble man who would not speak about his many talents; one being that he was a gifted artist. He had a great sense of humour, often pointed out the funny things in life to those around him. He loved the song: "Working Man” It’s a working man l am And I’ve been down under ground And I swear to God if ever see the sun Or for any length of time I can hold it in my mind I never again will go down under ground At the age of sixteen years Oh he quarrels with his peers Who vowed they’d never see another one In the dark recess of the mines Where you age before your time And the coal dust lies heavy on your lungs At the age of sixty-four Oh he'll greet you at the door And he'll gently lead you by the arm Through the dark recess of the mines Oh he'll take you back in time And he'll tell you of the hardships that were had Expressions of sympathy in memory of Jamie may be made by donation to The ALS Society of British Columbia c/o P.O.
