Thomas Jim Allard passed away on April 11, 2025, at the age of 90. Jim was born

May 23, 1934, in Okanagan County. He lived in Okanagan as a child, and then in

the 1940's they moved to a large farm in Chesaw Washington where he attended

school in Molson WA. After school, Jim enlisted in the Navy CB's which was short

lived due to a back injury. He met and married his wife Edith and had their first

Daughter in Tonasket. They moved to the coast and bought a house in Edmonds

where they had 2 more daughters. Then they moved to Maltby where he raised

his daughters until they graduated.

Jim was a hard worker. He owned his own business where he built spec and

custom homes throughout Puget Sound. His homes were featured in the Mill

Creek Show Street, and in the 1988 Street of Dreams.

He retired in Oroville Washington where he lived for many years taking care of his

horses. We were finally able to convince him in to move back to Snohomish to be

closer to his family.

Jim was an avid outdoorsman who loved horses, fishing, and hunting. Horses

were always a part of his life, and he shared this joy with his family. He especially

enjoyed fishing. He spent a lot of time out on his boat that was moored at the

Everett Marina and shared that joy with family and friends. He loved going out on

the boat, but also enjoyed fishing in the creeks around Okanagan County just as

much. He loved sharing this experience with his family and took every one of his

kids and grandkids out to fish in a creek, as they were almost always guaranteed

to catch a fish. Bowling was another favorite pastime. He played on many

leagues over the years and participated in many tournaments. He averaged high

scores over the years including some 300 scores and bowled up until he was

about 85.

Jim was a wonderful husband and father, and he raised a family that he can be

proud of. He is preceded in death by his wife Edith, his Parents Mary and Basil

Allard, his sister Jean, his brother Dennis, and his son-in-law Doug Fraser. He

leaves his daughters Diana and her husband Mike, Gail and her husband Ty,
