Jimmy’s Passing – Gail and Richard Bohr

Gail and I are deeply saddened by the news of Jimmy’s passing.  We feel blessed to have been inspired by him when we were part of the DBS community in 1972-74.

 

I learned a great deal from Jimmy about what it means to be a dedicated teacher and have endeavored to pass on this precious legacy in my subsequent college teaching career in the U.S.

 

Jimmy’s lasting legacy is reflected in the lives and dedication of so many DBS old boys in Hong Kong and around the world.  He was a gift to so many, and the world is a better place because of him.

 

The Bohr family send its deepest condolences to Jimmy’s family and friends.

 

As ever,

Gail and Richard Bohr

St. Paul, Minnesota

Words of Condolences from Lawrence Huang

You have taught me to be strong, by placing me to excel in sports-Discus, Javelin and shot-putt!
You have taught me team play–in the cricket games where I was the opening bowler for DBS!
You have taught me to recognize right and wrong–I was canned by you! Thank you!
And in life, and after life, you will always be in my heart.
Thank you for the good memories of my years in Diocesan Boy’s School!
I am deeply saddened at your passing away.

Love,

Borjie
