I was looking at "The Academy" and thought of Mr. McCormick. I google searched his name and his obituary came up. I was shocked and saddened. I was a student at ARRA the first year Mr. McCormick began teaching at ARRA. I thought it was wonderful to see mother and son on the staff. Mr. McCormick was a wonderful teacher and a wonderful person. I know he is sadly missed but with you all in spirit. God Bless

Sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear that Mr McCormick was ill for so many years.
Mr. McCormick was a teacher of mine that I very much respected and learned a lot from him. In fact, he was a teacher that all students respected. All students behaved in his class and listened to what he had to say. He was a no-nonsense teacher that had a natural ability to teach and make lessons interesting so that everyone paid attention. Like his obituary said he had a great memory and that is what I also remember and it was very impressive.
There are some teachers that I remember from my earlier years and he is one that stands out. I graduated in 1986.

I am one of those fortunate folks who had the privilege to have "Jeff" as one of my teachers, early on in his teaching career. He was a talented professional with a big heart and a ready smile. I later had the chance to help him renovate his country home, during the demolition phase, as we broke through laths & plaster with all manner of dust & accumulation from the decades. Although I had joined the Army & moved away, upon my periodic trips "back home" none seemed complete without a visit to a mentor, friend & neighbour. May the grief in his death be replaced by many happy memories of a life well-lived. One of the things to strive for is to make the world a better place for your time in it. Thanks Jeff & God bless!

Mr McCormick was one of my favourite teachers throughout school. He was a kind and gentle man who inspired in me a love for biology; he clearly left a lasting impression as I went on to obtain an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. In Biology and work as a Conservation Biologist. My deepest condolences to his family on their loss.

Like many I would also like to express tremendous gratitude to “Mr. McCormick” for being who he was. A wonderful teacher who relayed obvious natural intelligence and patience in a simple way .
I remember the building blocks he used to describe DNA molecules as if it was yesterday. He had an ability to teach and make us comprehend that would stay with us forever. His fairness and dignity were obvious for all who met him.
Unfortunately I did not have a chance to tell him in person recently how much his character has been an influence on myself and my high school classmates, I hope his family realizes how important he was to us.
Condolences to his family and friends.

Am just learning of 'Mr McCormick's' death in the last few minutes - thanks to some dear friends/fellow students, via facebook. It is interesting how much the world has changed since this great teacher inspired me and many others in the late 1970's - yet I think of him often. I went on to pursue a career in sciences (now politics) due to least his role in creating an interest in the world around us. Also, he taught simple but very effective ways to remember complicated concepts - that I still refer to even when I served as Minister of the Environment for NL.
I was very glad to have told him this (in person) a few years ago, of the impression he made on me. He seemed surprised at first, but when I could repeat those same phrases after almost 40 years, I was able to genuinely say thank you.
As I type, I understand that there is a service of celebration occurring in Nova Scotia - that I would have liked to have attended if I wasn't in a snowfall in Labrador. My best wishes and condolences to all family, friends and students who were fortunate to have been inspired by this man.

To Fran, Ashley, Luke and Phil
So sorry to hear of Jeff's passing as he was a legend both in and out of the classroom.I had the opportunity to teach on staff with Jeff at AWEC for the first years of my teaching career and got to see first hand how respected Jeff was by both his fellow teachers and the students. What a great role model to have in those early years. When Jeff spoke at staff meetings or in the staff room we would all take notice. I think we all knew that his comments would be based on sound reasoning and compassion. His students soon learned that Jeff was their biggest fan. Jeff combined these qualities with a great sense of humor as his eyes would almost twinkle and a huge grin would appear when someone got off a good line. Jeff was just as revered outside the classroom for being such a great neighbor and citizen of the Annapolis/Moshelle area. It doesn't seem fair that Jeff did not get the longevity of life that we all expect but the legacy he leaves and the love he gave and received is something to be celebrated for sure. Jeff truly loved his family, friends and students and we all were better people for having Jeff in our lives. Our sincere sympathy to you all.
Kerry & Gay Fitzgerald

As I read the obituary, I was reminded of how kind, considerate, and helpful Mr. McCormick was. He cared about all of his students, and worked diligently to ensure their success. And his smile was especially bright when he could see that a student understood the lesson.
Our condolences to his family. RIP Mr. McCormick. You are already missed.

What a wonderful person:) He got me excited about science for the first time and challenged me to do well in biology, genetics in particular. His was one of my favourite classes as he explained things so passionately and clearly and with his kind smile. When I think of my AWEC years, I always think of Mr McCormick with gratitude because I had struggled in school in the years leading up. My condolences and respect to the man and his family.
