Not sure what to say?

Just found Mr Fairley's obit and I am so sorry I did not know sooner. He was an absolutely wonderful teacher that cared about each of his students and it showed. His example was a big part of why I also went into education. Much love and admiration! Laura Sherman Velasquez

Uncle Jim was full of life and produced a smile on those whose path he crossed. I will always remember his strong go getter spirit. Peace, blessings, comfort and love I pray for you all.

I worked with Mr. Fairley for several years at Anson Jones Middle School and was impressed by his calm demeanor. May the eternal light shine upon him. May he rest in peace!

My friend, I always wonder what you were up too these days You were a great history teacher. I still read history books because of you. RIP my friend. Joe

It was because of him and Mr. Stuart World History teacher that I became a History teacher for Special Ed students. I am retired now. The one thing I remember the most was the stories he told of his lovely wife and girls. He loved all of you so much and was so proud and excited to be your father and husband. He was a great teacher. Not only of history but a role model for a...

No one could have had a better BIG brother. We were very proud of and loved him very much. I still remember with a little sadness, the holidays that he and the other brothers returned home from the service. He brought lots of happiness to us all. Love you Jim!! Sallie Whitehead
