So sad to hear this. I had the pleasure of sharing a dinner and a beer with Jim in a Jazz bar in Jackson a few years back. Such a fun guy to be around with so many stories to tell. We exchanged messages on Facebook off and on since his stroke, sounded like he was enjoying playing with with making the SC into a rally rat.

Aww nuts... One of my favorite Pelicans.
Still have the Cafe Monde mug he gave me (though I personally and without sharing AT ALL drank all the chicory coffee myself). RIP Jim. You are the one who made NOLA seem worth visiting. angela

That is very sad news. He hadn't been on here for a long time, but that didn't mean any of us forgot about him. I missed his posts. Sad.

Very sad news. IIRC, he had had a stroke a few years ago and his posts dropped off a lot after that.

Yep. Sorry to hear of his passing but I think that his health had been in decline for several years, around the time of the stroke reported in this thread. He was a very nice guy. RIP.
