It is with sadness the family of James Bliss Marr, age 74, partner of Deb Dennis, of Moncton, NB, announce his passing, on September 8, 2017. He was born on August 20, 1943 in Saint John, NB, and grew up in Norton, the son of the late Leonard and Jean (Orchard) Marr.

Jim graduated from Moncton High School and N.B.I.T. in motor mechanics – where he went to teach for his entire working career. Restoring antique cars was his life-long hobby. He loved nature and his Belleisle Bay & Grey Road (Norton) cottages, where he and Deb spent many happy times in the company of their dog. Family and friends were very important to Jim, and he will be sorely missed by them all.
