It is with great sadness that we learned of the recent passing of Graham Jackson. Mr. Jackson was a practicum supervisor in the School of Education at Bishop's University from 2001 to 2018. He was dedicated to Bishop´s University and in particular to the many generations of pre-service teachers in the School of Education he mentored, leaving a mark not only on his community but also on the English-Language Education sector as a whole.
We would like to honor him with the following tribute from a current practicum supervisor and friend, Mr. Tom Matthews.
Graham graduated in ´61, I believe, with honours, from the School of Education, taught almost entirely by the legendary Dr. Jefferis. He was in a class of six students and always remembered the rigour required of a teacher as exemplified by Dr. Jeff and subsequent Deans and professors in the School, later the Faculty of Education.
He had a background of counselling, too, from McGill and he very successfully merged those fields in the classroom during his teaching career.
He was later to go on to become the Director of Instructional Services for the School Board serving a vast area of Québec, now known as the Central Quebec School Board. With schools scattered in the far distant reaches of our province, he worked tirelessly to bring the necessary resources to principals and teachers setting the very best example of the unselfish, dedicated educator and committing himself to bringing the very best to the students that his board served.
In his very limited spare time, he served on countless committees and boards and chaired the Québec Superior Council´s Protestant Committee for some years. He led conferences and workshops and presented papers at the national level - all with sagacity, grace and a very great deal of humour!
In all his work and travels, Bishop´s was never very far from his heart and whether fact finding in the School Authority of the Orkney Islands or researching multi-level classroom teaching in Scotland, he always worked Bishop´s into his presentations, always with great pride.
In his retirement, he committed himself to try to repay his debt to the field which had brought him so much reward by enthusiastically serving as a Student Teacher Supervisor, visiting schools far away from the campus in the regions of Québec that he had come to love, sitting in the classrooms with the young people he so much admired.
Our profession has lost a great resource and Bishop´s a number one `booster´!
Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends on behalf of the School of Education at Bishop´s University.

A wonderful memorial service for an exceptional man. I am grateful I was able to attend and listen to the many anecdotes, reminisce with colleagues and realize not only how Mr. Graham touched my life, but just how far reaching he touched others throughout his lifespan. Sincere condolences to Suzanne, Leon and Nora. We all need more Graham Peter Jackson´s, and bowties, in the world.

We were saddened to hear the news about Graham. As Director of Instructional Services for the EQRSB he often visited us in Metis Beach and gave us tremendous support over the years. Countless teachers and students benefited from his dedicated involvement in the education sector of Québec. He and Suzanne became dear friends over the years; we so enjoyed reading Graham's Christmas letters. He certainly was a gentleman, a scholar, and a fine judge of whiskey (ahhh-Glenmorangie). And he had a wonderful sense of humour. Our heartfelt condolences to Suzanne and the family.

I would like to extend my sincere condoleances to Mr. Jackson's family. He was part of a group of people from the Anglican Diocese of Quebec who interviewed me in 2007 for the position of Executive Director. After getting the position, I greatly enjoyed his humor and knowledge during many diocesan meetings. He was very committed to serve his Anglican community and from the other messages I have read, service seems to have been a important part of his life. He can now rest in peace.

I have many happy memories of Graham and the wonderful way he had, as an educator, of making people feel valued and understood.
Graham´s jokes, limericks and general good humour livened up the most boring or tiresome church meeting.
He was a kind, caring, compassionate and committed Christian. I learned a great deal about life and Faith from the time we spent together.
I send my condolences to the family and my great love to Suzanne.

I am very sorry to hear that Graham recently passed away. He was the person who recommended that I enroll at Algonquin College in their Business Administration Program. I am glad that I did as it took my life in a different direction.
Graham made time to see me, I was working at the time, and guide me back to my studies and a rewarding and fulfilling life.
Thank you for your support.

Mr. Jackson was my Guidance Counselor at QHS many years ago. I remember him well assuring a terrified 16 year old graduating that it would all work out. It did Mr. Jackson. My sincere condolences to the family.

I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Jackson's passing and send my sincere condolences to his family. He was one of my most favourite teachers at Quebec High School in the early 60's where he taught North American Literature and opened up a whole new world for us. I also was lucky to be a French student of Mr. Jackson's wife in elementary school in Quebec City. May your fond memories of the years spent together warm your hearts for years to come.

Graham and his wife Suzanne were great friends to me and my circle of friends when we knew each other in the 1990s. He was a great support and a gentleman, gracious and strong in some very rough times. He will be missed.

My high school memories from being at Quebec High (graduated from grade 12 in 1968) are now more vague than sharp, but I do remember Mr. Jackson as a very effective teacher and one whose classes I enjoyed. My sympathies to the family.

To the Jackson family, with whom I have shared so many memorable times, my very deep condolences on the passing of a wonderful and extraordinary husband, father, son and so many family roles.

My deepest condolences to his family.
He was my guidance councillor in high school and used to drive me and my sister and brothers to Alexander Wolfe when we lived on rue du golf.
He had a very big impact on my life. When I arrived at QHS, I had difficulty adjusting and he would book me in for chats.
Such a special man and no doubt made a large impact on everyone´s lives. Rest In Peace.

Graham and I first met when I was being interviewed for a position with the CQSB way back in 1982. He was also sent to evaluate my teaching at QHS as a new teacher. Always a kind, thoughtful and reflective pedagogue and human. Sending love and prayers to the family.

So sorry to hear this news. I can still see him walking the football field with his tweed hat and jacket and the familiar ascot. He certainly helped many QHS students make wise career decisions. We were lucky to have him in our lives.
To Susan and the whole family, please accept my sincere condolences. He was a good man.

Deepest condolences to Mr. Jackson's family. He was my home room teacher in Grade 10 at QHS and Nora was a good friend of my daughter, Tammy. I will always remember his reaction in English class when, just after he read "Et tu, Brutus" from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, the police sirens sounded outside. Needless to say, it brought all of us to fits of laughter. Graham preached at our tiny chapel in Lac Beauport and was someone I always admired. My deepest sympathies to his extended family. We have lost a good man.
