GOODFELLOW, James Gibney "Gib" -
October 25, 1941 - February 21, 2024
Gib will be missed dearly by his wife, Phyllis; by his daughter, Karen and her partner, David Zayachkowski; his son, David and his wife, Cidalia; his three "GrandAdults," Tommy, Morgan, and Ash; as well as his sister-in-law, Barb Hopkins; and many friends, neighbours, and colleagues.
Gib was a passionate educator who was an advocate for human rights, social justice and environmental action.
He inspired many educators and students while working in the role of Social Studies consultant, Geography teacher, and outdoor educator with The Toronto Board of Education and The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority overnight centres. Gib was also one of the founding teachers of Ursula Franklin Academy.
Gib volunteered with The West Toronto Junction Historical Society. He enjoyed board gaming, ballroom and line dancing.
Gib was preceded in death by his parents, Rose and Jim Goodfellow; and his brother, Gordon.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to one of Gib's preferred charities: Doctors Without Borders or Environmental Defence.
