I miss Jim. Not only as an excellent forum member but as a person.
Even in his forum persona (in which he was always kind to me), he was a very straight forward and shoot-from-the-hip kinda guy. He didn't hold his punches but IMO, it was often tongue-in-cheek. He deserved another 50+ years and is sorely missed. |

Wow, didn't jump on here expecting to see this thread. I miss him everyday, in one way or another. His family is doing well, his oldest daughter is actually expecting her first born in 2 months or so. He will be the second of my dad's grand kids that will not get the chance to meet him. I am very happy and proud that he was able to meet my son boy before he passed away, he was one proud grandpa. Thanks for all the new and old kind words.

He was a very compassionate man, and I have a hint that I owe him, more than I realized at the time, for a very special Christmas. |

Yeah, I met him pseudo-healthy once. But then he was so sick the next time I really worried he'd be around another year. Tough old bird hung around another 3-4 years. He was one of a kind - worked his tail off to earn everything the hard way. I hope people say nice things about me when I'm gone. Tons of respect for Jim all across the board whether he dipped into his pocketbook or not.

I'm sure they'll have a gathering in Springfield to commemorate your life.

I wonder if Logical, Hank, Lamar and Derrick Thomas are exchanging gifts today.
