In Memoriam
Jim McLean

Tuesday, March 22, 2016


“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”

- Thomas Campbell


Jim McLean
(1953 - 2016)

It is with deepest sympathy that we share the passing of our associate, coach/mentor and friend, Jim McLean, VP of Sales - Grills Division. 

Jim began leading the Grills team at Napoleon June 1, 2010 and during his almost 6 years of service he successfully helped to bring the name “Napoleon” to the forefront in Canada, USA and Europe. It is a testament to Jim and to his legacy of what he has left behind!

Jim established very close relationships with all of our Dealers and Distributors around the globe. Helping with the success of each business and developing strong personal ties. We will all miss him terribly. 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jim's wife, Donna and their 4 children, Jonathan, Heather, Samantha and Peter.

Funeral details are pending but will take place in Oakville, Ontario.


“It is hard to forget, I said, when there is such
an empty space when you are gone…”

- Brian Andreas
