    " 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 "

  • Office Mate who Became a Friend

    Gerry Potter


    "James was my office mate for many years when we both taught drama for the English Department at Macewan University, and for a couple of terms in the Dept of Drama at U of Alberta. James was always fun to chat with and shared his love of great movies, theatre and opera with me over the years. Later, after he left MacEwan, we had many breakfasts together at classic spots like The Commodore and became genuine friends. I'll miss his wry wit and the sparkle in his eyes, and think of him when I listen to a soprano soar."

    "Mr. Eadie was my high school drama teacher. He instilled in me a lifelong love of the best in theatre and music. Even though it was nearly 50 years ago now, he has not been and will not be forgotten by this former high school student. "

  • High School Mentor

    Catherine Reynolds Hammond


    "Mr Eadie was my high school drama teacher 1970-72. He had a tremendous influence on my life, igniting a passion for theatre that continues 50 years later. He will not be forgotten."

    "Thank goodness Mr. Eadie was my first French teacher in grade 8. He made me a lover of French class with his sense of fun and use of drama in class. Those classes were among my favourite of junior high. How wonderful he went on to inspire so many more drama students. Rest In Peace."
