I spent eight years with Big Jim as my headmaster at St. Johns, a remarkable and transforming time in life. I was a student while we bridged our origins in rural Elora and came to the Waterloo warehouse. May his memory be eternal!

Coming from the distant past in Elora, John Harris here. I recognized Jim's name on The Globe & Mail website and clicked through to find out, "Is this the Jim Chalmers I knew?" As a teenager in Elora in the 1970s I remember spending an afternoon with Jim at his place on South River Rd. I can't say I knew him well but he struck me as the salt of the Earth, a truly decent and compassionate man. I'm writing from Japan where I've lived for many years. Just wanted to pass on a big hug. John

Mr. Chalmers was my Grade 8 teacher at Courtland Ave public school many years ago. I thank him for insisting on excellency in his students. Most of the time he scared me to death and I sure didn't want to make him mad. I can still remember when he practiced the Bag Pipes in the front hall before school started at 9. They and he gave me goosebumps then, as they do now! God Rest You Well Mr. Chalmers. Heaven is richer with your presence.

Dear Isobel I was deeply saddened to read of Jim's death this morning. I remember so well visiting you in Elora as St. John's was getting underway and also spending time with Jim at our annual CAIS conferences. He was an inspiration to many and I especially respected his drive and dedication. Jim will be sorely missed. Barry Stevens Former Headmaster Centennial Academy, St. John's, Vancouver

Isobel, Bruce, Jane, Ian and families, We have been reflecting on the impact that Jim had on so many lives, but in particular ours. A myriad of stories, sounds (laughter), smells(wood dust and finishes) and emotions arose in our conversations. Adjectives abounded in our sentences: inspirational, fair, decisive, loyal, visionary. Jim's influence was as a father, a mentor, an advocate, a cheer leader, an educator, but most of all, a friend. Our lives were enriched by Jim and we are forever grateful. With love,
