Jim Galbraith

Jim Galbraith has been at the heart of Scottish Friendly’s journey for 33 years. His faith in the people he worked with had no limit.

Jim’s wisdom, presence and dry wit simply stood him apart. He will be sadly missed by all of us.

This book is celebrating and remembering Jim. Messages to one another that will let us unite in our grief, to share with his family and friends, and preserve his memory.

I became close friends with Jim (or Jimmy as he was to us back then) over 40 years ago when we started our actuarial journey together at Heriot Watt University in 1980. It was clear to us all even then that behind a quiet and understated front was someone who combined huge intelligence with …

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late Jim Galbraith, also to his colleagues, board members and all staff at Scottish Friendly.  While I did not know him as well as his work colleagues or associates, I had a great appreciation of the person he was and of his ethics. He …
