Jim and I battled over the years and at one time he was my least favorite poster on here. In the last few years, I saw a change in him that I think allowed us to know more of the wonderful person that you and your family surely knew well. He went from being one of my least favorite people here to one of my most favorite.
I'm sad to hear what is not unexpected news. It has been a loss to this community to have Jim away. I can't imagine the pain you are dealing with, but I am glad that you are your family appear to be well suited to cope with the grief of your (and our) impending loss. I wish you and your family all the best. |

Sorry to hear it Jim was one of the most thoughtful and intellectual posters on this board. He will be missed. I hope for a full recovery or a quick and easy passing. Good luck my friend either way.

Wow. Bad news. That's really tough. I know I never met him, but I did have a lot of respect for him because of his posts.
I wish Jim and all of your family all the best. Hopefully he isn't in too much pain. I will send up a prayer for him and your family. All of us appreciate the updates Posted via Mobile Device |

He was one of my favorite posters and I'm glad I had the chance to meet his at a game a few years ago. My thoughts and prayers and with him and the family. Hoover |

Frankly, I'm surprised the old fart has hung on for as long as he has. I saw him at Arrowhead his last trip out and he looked awful (sorry Jim, you know it's true).
For those of you who don't know, this site would not have existed without Jim for a couple of different reasons: 1. He was one of the founding members and added plenty of interest to the site. 2. He supported this place financially more than anybody knows. I'll bet he gave $1 for every $2 given by everybody else combined. I've been on both sides with Jim and even when he frustrated me I've always had plenty of respect for the man. Me and mine have been praying for weeks and I'll pray that if now is his time that he will go peacefully and painlessly. Thank you for the update, Junior. |

James,
Thank you for posting this update. I'm sorry to hear about Jim. I wish him a peaceful end to his days and I send my sympathies to you and the rest of the family. Jim was the first poster to teach me the ways of the Planet and I will never forget him for that reason alone. I will miss his insightful banter and football knowledge. Peace |
