  "Found out today you have left, was going to come through for a visit, can't believe you are not there, dear friend. Special person, wise old friend."

• Mark Peppler lit a candle on December 20th, 2023:
  "James was my Drama teacher at MacEwan University and his passion, love, and dedication to his work came through everyday. He was easily the best teacher I've had in my entire life and the world feels so much more empty after his passing. I treasured the time that I was able to spend with him and I remember the conversations he was willing to indulge in after classes or in his office. A truly great teacher and a wonderful human being. I love you, James! Hope there is more for you on the other side!"

  "James was a Opera lover and frequented the Gramophone at least once a week to discuss his passions for music and theater with our staff.We will be reminded of JP every time a yellow cab pulls up to the front doors and he is greatly missed. “I have lived for art, I have lived for love.” Puccini, Tosca Farewell James.

• Carl Hare lit a candle on March 30th, 2021:
  " To James Eadie His life was one long aria./ He lived alone against a chorus/ That filled the stage of what he loved,/ His own theatre, whether sung or spoken,/ Of his many students,/ Stretching/ Under his searching eye/ To find/ A glimmer of the subterranean/ Drive of life within the characters/ With whom they struggled,/ And his friends, acquaintances,/ Who played their roles around him/ As he expected them to do./ Otherwise,/ In the darkness of his room,/ He let the great voices of that other stage/ Soar around and over and through him/ From the silver casts that lined his shelves./ Beyond all of them,/ The world clattered around him/ As he kept such disturbed things/ For the intermissions, which he tried to make/ As brief as possible./ He made his exit quietly/ With some pain./ He deserves our applause./ Carl Hare, March 2021 "

• Robert McGee lit a candle on March 25th, 2021:
  "In November of 2013 my grandmother passed away. I was inspired by her passing to return to university after a two-year hiatus. The first professor I met from my first class back was Mr. James Eadie. Mr. Eadie was teaching a drama course which he had structured to effectively act as more of a communications class, with a focus on clear and effective public speaking. Being a student in Mr. Eadie’s class gave the impression of being transported back through time; the professional and dignified manner in which he presented himself made me feel as if I were a keen-eyed student at a prestigious European university during the first half of the 20th century. Mr. Eadie had the aura of a man who in his youth had firmly grabbed the gauntlet of life and without hesitation drank it down with both vigour and inhibition. He was Hemingwayian in his masculine grandeur and in his lust for a life well lived. Mr. Eadie’s classes were not for the meek of heart; he had a high expectation that his students have high expectations for themselves. He taught us to stand with confidence, speak with purpose, and lead with conviction. He was tough on students who faltered or failed at these expectations, but to be fair, the world is tough on all without confidence, purpose, or conviction. Mr. Eadie’s work was to prepare his students for the real world. He challenged his students to accept and perfect the most important nuances of being an adult. We straightened our backs. We kept eye contact. We spoke in appropriate tones. Bad habits were weened out as a single “um,” or “er,” could potentially drop you a full letter grade. He taught us how to present the best versions of ourselves to the world and all who were fortunate enough to have been taught by him are better for it. I am unfathomably fortunate to have been a student to such a brilliant and experienced mentor. I will never forget discussing Kerouac, Brando, and Paris with him while also listening to his personal stories after class in his office. For one of his assignments Mr. Eadie requested that we submit a recording of ourselves reading a poem. I recorded myself reading Emily Dickinson’s, "Because I could not stop for Death," and as a final thank you and goodbye to Mr. Eadie I would like to quote a brief passage from this poem: "Because I could not stop for Death – He kindly stopped for me – The Carriage held but just Ourselves – And Immortality." Goodbye Mr. Eadie. Thank you. Robert McGee"

  "On behalf of our ROMU members please accept our deepest condolences on your loss. James was a part of MacEwan for 33 years teaching in our English Department and is being remembered by many of his colleagues, students and friends. May memories shared and remembered help all through this time of loss and grief. Sincerely, Patricia Bone, Care Convener ROMU ( Retirees of MacEwan University)"

  "Mr. Eadie was my high school drama teacher, and since I became an actor from his inspiration, I can honestly say my life would not be the same without him. He was tough, sometimes manipulative, but he was honest, and his praise was worth striving for. His classes and direction were some of the best times of my life. Wish I could have seen him again before he passed, just to say thank you. "

• Ruth Martin lit a candle on March 6th, 2021:
  "I worked with James at MacEwan and Alberta College. He had a dry sense of humor and always made me smile. He was a devoted, kind hearted, generous man who will be deeply missed. Rest in peace my friend. Ruth"
