Predeceased by his beloved son, Scott, and his cherished wife, Joyce, Jim is survived by his loving family: son Dorian (Yvonne); daughter Jan Currie (Don); daughter‑in‑law Candice Melton; sister‑in‑law Jan Cummings and brother‑in‑law Ken Moore; five grandchildren; nieces and nephews; and many wonderful, lifelong friends, and colleagues from the Vancouver School Board and beyond. Jim was a kind and generous soul and he made a difference in the lives of those lucky enough to know him.
