Sadly, Jim Godber (my beloved pseudo-grandfather) passed away on June 30, 2015. May he rest in peace.
Today was his memorial service and I wasn’t the least bit surprised to see so many people in attendance because he was such a great man. Nor was I surprised to hear his son Tom say that one of Jim’s greatest joys in life was to mentor McGillians. He epitomized mentorship – and I am blessed to have known his gift first-hand.
When I open every ISESI class with my first lesson of the term, I’m borrowing from Jim who once told me: “You are better than you think you are.” This term’s class will be taught in his honour.
Oh, how he loved to describe how turtles get things right – They have to stick their necks out to go forward. And they never look back. Incredibly, minutes after my baptism in Tbilisi, Georgia a few short weeks ago, a large, wild tortoise wandered by. I know it was his way of saying goodbye…
It was a privilege to have loved you, Jim, for the past 10 years and I will always be grateful for your guidance and support
