My deepest condolences to Trish and family. Jim was one of the most genuine people I have ever met, an excellent teacher, a true leader, and a caring person. I've had the pleasure of working with Jim and Trish at Tec Voc High School where I witnessed firsthand the welcoming and caring atmosphere that they created for their Graphic Arts students. Whether it meant providing extra support to help a student find their way or spending lunch hours together with their students, they always created a sense of family. When I visited Jim in the hospital, I saw the many gifts that were there from former students, a true testament in itself. Jim was also an excellent Theatre Tech teacher, extremely knowledgeable, and always solving challenges in a professional and calm manner. Also, a talented musician, Jim and his students worked with many of our music students over the years, creating excellent brandings for rock concerts, t-shirts, posters, and CD covers, many of which still adorn the music department.
Thank you for sharing your life with us Jim,
You will be missed.
