Hard to believe it’s ten years.
Jim never got to meet this little lady, Aoife McKenna, his youngest grandchild.
She will join us today for his anniversary.
“Never a new year dawns,
Never an old year ends,
But somebody thinks of someone,
Old days, old times, old friends.”
Jim is remembered by all of us today and everyday, with great love and admiration.

Can’t believe it’s 10 years Mary. Mr Cogan was a lovely man to deal with. My son Alan always spoke highly of him of his time @ St Michael’s. Thinking of you all today. ❤️

My condolences, Mary. Sixty-five is much too young.

Deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time, Mary. Jim – or Mr Cogan as I would have called him back in the day – was a wonderful physics/chemistry teacher and also a very likeable human being. He was also a kick-ass disabled person – active, confident, determined, good-humoured – and he didn’t let his disability get in the way of his passion to teach. Your blog is fantastic and a great contribution to Listowel culture and history and I’m certain Jim would be very proud of you. Thinking of you today. Christian X

Your comment, Christian, means a lot to me. It would have meant a lot to Jim too. The respect was mutual. M.
