Jim Gillies deactivated

25 Jun - 13 Nov

Our friend and colleague, Jim Gillies, passed away at home on Saturday the 13th of November after a long battle with cancer. Jim has been part of SLC for over 16 years working in many teams including FE, DSA, BCF and, for the last 6 years, the Assess Platform. Jim has had a huge influence in all the teams he's worked in, but more importantly he has left a positive lasting impression on so many people he worked with. His loss will be felt much more widely than the Assess Platform and he will be missed by many within SLC. Jim is survived by his wife Aileen and daughter Emma and our thoughts go out to them at this time.

Jim was a truly amazing guy and I'm going to miss him a lot. I had the sincere privilege to work beside Jim for about x2 years at SLC (mainly 2013/2014) although I knew him long before. I loved his stories about his travels to North America (he absolutely championed me moving to Canada), his writing (his club and when he did his spell at a game magazine). I remember him just being very keen to finish on time every day to get back home to his family, who he absolutely dotted on. I am so sorry and offer my deepest condolences to Aileen and Emma. I think the last time I saw Jim would have been when we met up for lunch in Toronto when the family were on vacation a couple of years back in Canada. Jim, you will always be in my thoughts. Until we meet again friend..x

I worked really closely with Jim at SLC, and we kept in touch after I left. I counted him as a friend, and am so sad that he's not here anymore. I remember one day, Jim was working on something by himself, a little removed from everyone else. After half an hour he wandered over and asked, really quietly (not like Jim), if he could have a word. I went over to his desk, and he explained that he'd completely forgotten how to do the really simple thing he was trying to get done, and he'd been a bit embarrassed because it was so basic. I sat with him, as he has done for so many of us, ready to help - then realised that I'd forgotten how to do it too. We spent a good 20 minutes giggling to ourselves about how dumb we were, and hoping none of the smart people would wander over and judge us. I have so many memories of Jim being kind, or thoughtful, or speaking out about The Right Thing To Do, but this memory of him just being daft always makes me smile.

He was a great person to be around. He was not just a colleague sitting close to me but a friend who I could always approach with my silly work related or general questions. Family always came first for him - which was very clear in his words and actions. He was a very very proud father and a devoted husband. People don't talk about family at workplace but Jim and I almost everyday talked about our daughters. He loved talking about Emma, showing what she did and what he is planning with her on weekend. We all at work knew Emma as I don't recall him saying my daughter but instead he used to say "Emma". I and others sitting next to him heard all about Emma, what she is like and what she did today. You could see a sparkle his eyes when he was talking about Emma. He enjoyed his work, he was sincere, respectful, honest and was always helpful to everyone. I asked him few things again and again, but he explained things to me with full patience and smile. You will be sorely missed Jim!!!

A good friend: We had a special retro for Christmas in 2017 where we had to come up to feedback using the analogy of "A Christmas Carol" and use the 3 ghosts to provide 3 feedbacks in 10 mins. I was in trouble! never read the book so I didn't have a clue what were the Christmas ghosts. So, I went to Jim and whispered to him "hey! can you tell me a quick summary of this book?". His all his patience, he went through every single detail, literally everything! Ebenezer, the employee, the children, the ghosts, the house, the money, the crippled child...well so much detail that we both run out of time to write our 3 feedbacks. When it was our turn to show our 3 feedbacks, I had to confess that we didn't have time because I didn't have a clue of the ghosts and Jim was explaining them to me. Probably we didn't contribute to the retro that day, but every time I heard about "A Christmas Carol" since then I draw a smile in my face remembering this anecdote. And that, in essence was Jim, he would put everything aside to help you no matter what. A good father: I would always remember Jim the first day back from Christmas. He would tell everyone every detail about his daughter Emma on Christmas day, all the gifts she got and how she enjoyed them. Showing pics and videos of Emma with her new bike, her new toys...In more recent years he would show us the TikTok creations of Emma (which I thought they were brilliant by the way). But the one probably everyone would remember is the grey mug Emma gave him for Christmas with her pencil drawing. He never used another mug since that day. You could see the proud father he was explaining the drawing of his daughter of a movie (I think it was "How to train your dragon" but not sure). Emma's drawing skills weren't her best at that age :) but he would proudly go through the drawing in the mug pointing to every character explaining them to you as if it was piece of art from Picasso. I remember enjoying lot more seeing how proud father he was than the story of the movie itself. A good husband: I can tell you with exact details Wednesday’s Jim's routine. He would come into the office and tell you "Good morning! Today I need to leave at 11.45AM because I'm having lunch with my wife". It was almost mathematical, the same words every Wednesday. I must confess that I never knew if he meant it like "You are going to work along from 11.45" or "Please remind me to leave at 11.45" (or maybe both). Regardless, you could tell it was such an important event for him. So, at 11.40 I used to tell them things like "Run Cinderella or your chariot will turn into a pumpkin!". First time I did that he was laughing for a good part of the day. Even on a call we had few weeks ago he mentioned one of the worse things on his battle was how much he missed Aileen's cinnamon rolls on Sunday. He was constantly talking about his wife and daughter, and I was pleased when we bump into each other in Ikea few years ago and I could finally put faces to the thousand stories he told me about them. You will not be forgotten my friend
