RIP Jim - You were one of the best on here.

I bought a dirt bike from Jim over a decade ago...picked it up at his house. We had lunch and dinner and I laughed a lot. He could light a candle and draw you to the flame.

The bike after I put a lot of miles on it:



RIP, Jim, as should we all.

Best.

RIP Jim! You were missed already and now there isn't a chance of a comeback.

I’m keeping an eye on his FB page and for an Obit. If I see anything concrete, I’ll pass it along.

Damn.... Hell of a nice guy. Out of the blue, he sent me a care package of stuff for my race car several years back just because he thought maybe I could make use of it... Wouldn't take a dime for any of it including shipping. This news truly sucks.

I've also been looking for an obit to no avail, and since I was the one that informed the group through a mutual friend, I just spoke with him and his take was that there probably won't be an obituary but in the next weeks possibly a "celebration of life" type of announcement/event. He is going to keep me posted.
