Jim Fulton

We recently lost our old friend and colleague, Jim Fulton (January 22, 1950 – December 21, 2008) to a long battle with colon cancer. Jim was the NDP Member of Parliament for Northwest BC’s Skeena Riding and was a good friend as well as being Norma’s boss. As is pointed out in this Terrace newspaper article, Jim was a larger than life figure and a tireless worker for his riding. He was elected four times and retired undefeated. Norma and I worked on all of his campaigns and Norma worked in Terrace (with the odd trip to Ottawa) as his Constituency Assistant. He was a good man who will be missed. This is a 1980’s photo from that story of Jim and Norma on the job:

As Jim was fond of saying the last few years, "Get your a$$ checked!"
