James DIMOCK Obituary
August 14, 1932 – July 6, 2016
After a long battle with Parkinson's, Jim passed away peacefully in Montreal on July 6, 2016, in his 84th year. He leaves behind his beloved wife and best friend Janet (née Aird). He was a loving father to Hugh (Karen), Geordie (Lisa) and Marnie (Henri) and a doting grandfather to Ross, Grace, Nicole, Alexander, Jamie, William, Maggie and Sarah. A proud member of the Lower Canada College teaching staff for 32 years, Jim will also be greatly missed by friends and family in Montreal, Georgeville and Fitch Bay. Younger brother to his sisters Sue, Georgia and Jackie, Jim was born in Montreal, Quebec, son of Mary Richardson Douglas and George Francis Dimock. A celebration of Jim's life will be held in late summer. Details will follow in a second announcement.

Marnie and family,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. We had some great discussions after meeting while sharing cat sitting duties back in 1990.

Jan, Hugh, Geordie & Marnie,
Jim's passing brings to the foreground so many wonderful, cherished shared memories from LCC, your beautiful cottage where we enjoyed a number of staff golf outings plus one summer at Camp Nominingue. I will remember Jim as a hard working decent individual who got the most out of his students in the classroom and on the hockey rink.His focus was never on himself but on how to make life better for others.I am very sad to know that he has left us but am confident that he made a positive impact on the lives of a large number of LCC students.

I have very fond memories of a most thoughtful teacher who had an extremely keen eye on the strengths and weaknesses of his students, and who approached the latter with diligence, patience, and unbridled devotion in working for his student's betterment. My deepest sympathies to all of his family during this sad time.

My condolences to the Dimock family. I smile as I think back to many an afternoon refereeing hockey on the old rink with Mr. Dimock, and also how patient he was with his students. May your memories of Jim help you through this difficult time.

To the family:
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of a truly fine man. Jim was a straight up guy, who would look you in the eye and tell you exactly how it was. It was my privilege to have had Jim as a teacher. He was greatly respected by his students. RIP

My sincere condolences to the Dimmock family. He was an excellent teacher, solid, fair and willing to help wherever needed.
But imagine my surprise seeing him as one of the can-can dancers in the fossils for a number of years!! So he clearly had a good sense of humour that many students didn't get to see in School.
We were lucky to have him.
