Obituary for James Pottle

James Pottle
(John) James "Jim" Pottle, aged 72 years. Passed away suddenly on February 13, 2018 in his home in St. John's. Predeceased by his loving wife, Jeanette (née Bonnell), and parents Thomas and Ethel (née Harris), and brother Terry.

Jim worked for many years as an educator in Goose Bay, Random Island, and Clarenville. Teaching was not just his chosen career, it was his passion - he loved to explain the workings of the world to anyone who wanted to learn. He loved to tell stories, sing songs, and live life with gusto.
