It was a privilege to attend to your Annual Course on 3D microscopy of Living Cells. It was the spark of my carreer!
I had also a great time with you at the FOM meetings. Great guy, great scientist!
1996. I learned a lot at this course, including that PMTs have less
that you can put salmon on a barbecue. The course motto seems to have
A lot of memories, all of them good ones. Thank you Jim! My thoughts are

> Jim was born January 15th 1944 in Gerrard’s Cross, England. He
> immigrated to Canada with his parents in 1946, first to Cloverdale,
> BC, where they joined his aunt Winifred and cousin Brenda on their
> chicken farm, and then to Vancouver. He spent summers on Gambier
> Island with the family of Jack and Joan Warn. In the late 1950s, the
> family moved to Ben Lomond, California. From 1962-66 he studied
> electrical engineering at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in
> Pittsburgh, and in 1972 he got his Ph.D. in biophysics at the
> University of California-Berkeley. After a series of postdoctoral
> positions (including in London, where he met his wife Christine), in
> 1978 he took a faculty position in the department of Zoology at the
> University of Wisconsin-Madison. One of his main responsibilities was
> to run the three-story million-volt electron microscope, part of a
> national microscopy facility.
> For sixteen years he also directed the 3D Microscopy of Living Cells
> Course on the University of British Columbia’s campus. With a faculty
> of internationally known scientists and cutting edge equipment loaned
> by manufacturers, the 3D Microscopy of Living Cells (motto, “It’s not
> just diffraction, it’s not just statistics: It’s biology!”) attracted
> participants from all over the world. The course provided the
> foundation for his best-known publication, the Handbook of Biological
> Confocal Microscopy, now in its third edition and still an essential
> resource.
> Galvanized by the threat of climate change, Jim spent recent years
> raising the alarm. He organized a teach-in at UW-Madison, and taught
> classes on climate change there and at the Elder College in Sechelt.
> He helped organize a climate march in Vancouver, marched in Washington
> DC, and gave lectures in many places including the Sunshine Coast, and
> Harbin, China. He was especially active in the Clean Air Society and
> the Sunshine Coast Community Solar Association; his letters often
> appeared in local papers.
> Jim loved photography and music (especially Scarlatti); he loved to
> fix houses, furniture, and boats. In the late 1970s with friends, Jim
> built a cabin across the water from Egmont (boat access only). The
> family spent almost every summer there, trekking 2000 miles each way
> by car. He was a founder of the Doriston Music Festival, which in its
> first year was his kids on violins and keyboard, and Don and George
> Gilmour on mandolin and guitar. When Christine retired in 2012, the
> couple moved to the house they built in Sechelt. Jim loved the coast,
> and was so happy to be back in Canada after 56 years away. Every day,
> he looked out the window and said how lucky he felt to be here.
> Jim loved his family very much. He is survived by Christine, his wife
> of 43 years; his three children: Alice (Stephen Hoffmann), Emily
> (Roger Turner), and John; and his four grandchildren: Sam and Laura
> Turner, and Simon and Jane Hoffmann. A private funeral was held this
> week in Sechelt. All will be welcome to share stories about Jim at the
> celebration of his life on July 31, 2019 at the Sechelt Botanical
> Gardens (
https://coastbotanicalgarden.org). We are also hoping to
