Jim died in 2003. The Canadian Cultural Society of the Deaf has an obituary about Jim. You can read it if you click here.
Here are some more of my memories.

Memories and rambling thoughts of a retired teacher of the deaf.
About Me

- I'm retired now, but had a long and varied career as a teacher, lay worker with a Deaf church, school administrator, and an Anglican Priest. Finished up my working life back in the teaching profession. I am hoping to use this Blog/Vlog to gather together thoughts and memories of my professional life. And maybe to express some opinions too!

Hi,
While watching you give tribute to a deaf person, the foremost thing in my mind was this.
"A hearing teacher of the deaf blogging about his experiences being with the deaf. How wonderful!"
I look forward, in the future, being surprised by more websites or blogs like yours!
Way to go, Norm!
Hello
What a story!
By the way, is Norbert Irion still teaching at Belleville School for the Deaf where you teached? Thanks.

Yes, Norbert is still teaching there.
Hi Norm,
Oh yes, I remember Jim very well, a true Deaf gentleman. If he had a white beard, he would be a PERFECT SANTA CLAUS! He knew his responsibilities and duties far better than anyone. I met him several times after his retirement. I really missed him a lot. I have a great memory of him as a Deaf Gentleman who was the only Deaf adult we had ever seen in 1960's.
Thansk for sharing with us
Very nice story!! You brought some of my memories back to me. Back in 1960's, We got some Deaf staffs at Kentucky School for the Deaf, the ground keeper, janitor, coaches, High School teachers, PE teachers, dorm parents and a laundry supervisor. They are the ones we were always fond to hang around with.
Thanks for sharing heart-felt story. :)
