Re: Really sad news....
Wow, that definitely is some really sad news! After reading it, I inexplicably got up and started pacing back and forth. I'll always remember him for his incredible top-tier builds, and the contributions he made to the operations of the site over many years. Judging by his online persona, he seemed like a really good person. My condolences go out to his friends and family.

I never got the privilege of getting to know him on a personal level, but I always had the utmost respect for his depth of knowledge, his builds, and his positive attitude. You'll be missed, Jim

I didn't know Jim at all, but its truly terrible hearing of such a tragedy knowing there are so many people affected by his passing. Obviously he was a very well respected and helpful man, I hope the absolute best and comfort for his family, friends and to many of you here on the forum who knew him.

I didn't know him personally but my deepest condolences to his family and those who knew him.
It is indeed a sad moment when someone passes especially when it's someone you share common interests with.
His gallery has some of the best looking cars with a summary of the parts used. Just awesome!
RIP Jim

Oh man, I am so sorry to hear this. Always had fun with him on here even though I didn't know him very personally. My heart goes out to his family. Truly a great enthusiast lost.
