Saddened to read of Jim's passing. Jim always gave his best on the ice, on the ball diamond and to the teaching profession. His quick wit and good sense of humour brought laughter to the locker room.

~ Peter Askey

Jim Duddy was the first Principal to hire me back in 1998. As my Principal, he was kind, supportive and always had a great sense of humour about our experiences at Central Senior Elementary School. May it comfort his family to know, that Jim inspired a young teacher, 18 years ago, to "not work so hand" and he remains a very positive memory as a mentor.

I was very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was my principal at River Heights School. He was also my mother's principal at Biddulph School. I enjoyed my time with him and he was a positive role model for me. He took the time to come to my Retirement party which I really appreciated. You have my deepest sympathy. My thoughts are with you.
