I worked with Jim at Linklater School for many years. I just loved him! He had a great sense of humour that was really subtle. He always had that little laugh that not foo many people heard. The kids/students liked him because he was kind, effective and just a good guy. I liked working with him because he respected you for your thoughts (listened) and had some good ideas to contribute. In my retirement, I have thought of him often although I regret I didn't see him a lot. My condolences to the family.

Condolences to all who loved him. Jim was a very kind soul who we knew for many years. He shared many turkey suppers at our home thru the years and was always so proud to bring us loaves of his homemade bread.
condolences to the family. mr kyes was a great teacher he was there for me at a very hard time and i will never forget it.
He got me into helping other students in need and was always up for a chat when i needed it. I will always remember the conversations over lunch time And the end of the year class parties where the best. thank you for always making school fun mr Kyes you will be missed. RIP
So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. It's been over 25 years since we last spoke but Mom would talk about how Jim would call her to check in on her before she past. My deepest condolences to Allan, Ronald, Paul, Andrew and Jim''s extended family and friends. Rest in peace Cousin.
So Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Our families were always back and forth together in younger years. He was still always friendly and kind when he saw you. Joan (Perry) Minnie
