Jim was a graduate of the Nova Scotia Teachers’

started teaching in New Glasgow Junior High in 1966 for 7 years, the
last 4 as Vice-Principal. Jim then moved to the New
Diamond Street School in Trenton as Principal and
Teacher. After 9 years he moved to the Florence
Condon Junior High as Principal and Math Teacher. At the end of 3
years Jim became the Principal of the 3 Elementary Schools in
Trenton. After 7 years, he moved to West Pictou

years.
Jim was a member of St. John the Baptist Parish in New
Glasgow and a member of the former Christ the King Parish in Trenton
where he served on Parish Council, Finance and as a

forced him to retire in 2005.
With his limitations in recent years, he still enjoyed
playing cards at family gatherings, reading, doing puzzles of all
types, crib games with good friend, Barry Trenholm, going for drives
and time spent at D&B Campground. His never
