Longmire – James “Jim” Ritson Sr, aged 84, of Milfrod, Annapolis Co., died peacefully at Queens General Hospital in Liverpool, NS. 
Jim was the son of the late Kendall and Beulah (Weir) Longmire.
Jim enjoyed watching sports, especially NASCAR and football, and was a lifelong fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was an enthusiastic outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting and flyfishing and going on backwoods trips with his friends, around the woods and waters of his family home in Milford, Anna. Co. He also enjoyed gardening, cutting firewood on the family woodlot in Victory, league bowling, CB camp-outs, snowmobiling, and social events like dances, parties and cribbage tournaments.
Jim worked as a machinist and draftsman, and ran his own woodworking businesses in the Valley and at his Milford home. He was a perfectionist and took pride in the quality of his work. He renovated the old family home himself.  Jim enjoyed Christmas and always passed the gifts out on Christmas morning to his family.
