It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James Robert Mihial on Saturday, August 9, 2025 at the age of 82 years. Jim was born on June 7, 1943 in Regina, SK.

Jim was a proud 60-year member of UA Local 179, and worked as a pipefitter and welder prior to his retirement in 2003. Jim spent a great many years working pipeline across Saskatchewan and Alberta. Jim enjoyed his many years of retirement, especially winters in Arizona with Shirley and returning home in the spring to plan and plant his garden and eventually enjoying the fruits of his labour.
