James or Mr McVeigh as I knew him as was one of the funniest but kidest teachers who I had a pleasure of meeting! Anytime you walked into school and you heard the words ” Mr McVeigh is covering us today” you just knew you weren’t going to leave that classroom without laughing a million times. He wasn’t your average teacher, he had a way with us all and the lessons he taught I will always remember. A one in a million teacher who touched the hearts of everyone he graced with his presence. I hope these messages of how wonderful a person James was can bring some comfort to his family, you are all in my thoughts at this very hard time.
