The Loss of Jim Faubert
Our Computer Club has lost Jim Faubert, Vice President, on November 9, 2010. After years enduring back pain, Jim passed away in his home in Kincardine, ONT. For the 2009-2010 year he was unable to be out helping with computer questions or classes much.
This extremely kind and gentle person cared greatly for the HTR Computer Club. For several years he was instrumental in planning the weekly classes. He helped change the focus of these classes from the person who could teach to the topic that needed to be presented followed by locating the presenter.
Many times he said, “I want everyone who goes out that door to be able to do something!”
His wisdom will be felt and followed.
You may read about his long battle on his Caring Bridge site: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jimfaubert
This is also where you will find information concerning services for Jim.
