Very sad news indeed.
Especially shocking and dolorous in a community like ours, where we normally talk about the nice sides of life.

Rest in Peace, James. Sincere condolences to his family.

I didn't really know James but such a loss is very sad for friends here and family. May his soul be bound up in the bond of life.
I realize some of the forum members here didn't get a chance to really get to know Jim as well as others. For those that don't know him, I suggest reading some of his posts here from around mid-2004 and on. He was a gem of a man and will be greatly missed.

Today is truly a bittersweet day for me as my new car delivery was taking place at the exact moment his memorial service was being held in Florida. I'm sure he was watching over things with a smile...

Very sad. Peace, JDN.

His final post was just 'x'? That's sort of ... powerful, kind of like "Rosebud."

I remember when threads would come up about "how old/young are you" on the forum he would chime in as one of the older gentlemen on the forum but any of his other posts you'd never know it. May he rest in peace.
