Dear Joan: So sorry to hear of Jim's death in the paper. I have lost touch with many neighbours since I have moved to The Beach. Remember the night when you and Jim were sitting on your lawn chairs and I walked by on the Boardwalk? Please give my condolences to the girls and a big hug for you, Linda Bissinger

I was a student of Jim's in his first year of teaching and the Spring before he was a permanent teacher at RCI. In his first day teaching he was addressing the class, and in my usual fashion I was also. Jim walked over to me, looked at me, and said, "Only one person speaks in this class while I'm talking, and if you have a problem with that, we can take this outside". I always admired Jim as a teacher and an individual and he earned the grudging admiration of the jocks at the school with the name "Jungle Jim". I reminded him of this story at the latest reunion. Also that he and I would talk when he would wait in his car, outside the MacDonald house on Alton Avenue, when his wife was getting a fitting for a dress with Isabel MacDonald. It is a small world in many ways and mine was richer for knowing Jim Hannah.

My deepest sympathy to Jim's wife and family. I was a student of Jim's at Riverdale, and played hockey under his tutelage. Jim leaves behind a marvelous legacy of caring and kindness to a generation of young men and women. As a teacher, he took great personal interest in his students, as he sought to build our confidence and help us to realize our potential. A teacher affects eternity - you can never tell where his influence stops. Thank you Mr. Hannah for affecting our lives in such a positive manner. You were one of the best, and a great Canadian who I am proud to have known. Thank you to Jim's family for loaning him to us for a little while. May God bless and keep you.

I was very saddened to hear of Jim's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Joan and Jim's family. I worked directly with Jim during his last few years in East York and have many wonderful memories of that time. We shared a similar young Scottish immigrant experience. Jim was a rare individual - a charismatic leader who inspired confidence, modelled sound managerial skills and was always there when you needed him. I will remember the stories, the learnings - and the laughter that we enjoyed. We will also remember Jim for the touching talk that he gave when my mother Margaret Bibby retired from the East York Board. She was amazed at the care that he took to research her history and spoke so well of her. What a perfect picture you have chosen for Jim, it really captures his adventurous heart !

Dear Joan and Family, Our sincere sympathy to you all in your loss. Jim was a magnetic personality who enriched the lives of everyone he met. He was a profound influence on me, and I shall always remember the laughs we shared with Dave. I hope that the wonderful memories he created sustain you in his absence. The world is a better place for his having been in it.

Dear Joan: Dianne and I are deeply saddened by Jim's passing. It's difficult to explain, however, during just the one year that Jim and I shared at S.P.S., a bond was built that has endured to this day in spite of our families having gone their separate ways in the interval. Your loss is huge, as was the guy you lost. You have our deepest sympathies and please pass them on to Janice and Susan for us. Sincerely, Tom and Dianne ( 29 Valleycrest Dr. RR # 1 Shanty Bay On L0L 2L0. (705)835-2137 )

Dear Hannah Family, I had the privilege to work with Jim for a few years in the ski industry. From the first day I'd met him he'd always lit up the room with his good nature, enthusiastic charm and great spirit. It's these fantastic characteristics I'll always remember about Jim. I'm sorry for your loss and I'm sure these wonderful traits and many more have been passed along to each of you. Sincerely, Glenn Gaw

Jim and I were classmates at Riverdale Collegiate a very long time ago. I had the greatest respect for him then and that continued when I was fortunate enough to encounter and chat with Jim in Leaside from time to time. On behalf of my fellow members of the Riverdale Alumni Association I would like to express our most sincere condolences. Howard Birnie
