Very saddened by the news of Jim’s passing
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			Jim was a great man with old school honesty  
We talked semi regularly in the last few years on and off , at great lengths , ( as I’m sure he did with many here), 
Lots of great stories of finds , his history with the collecting/restoring pastime  
Purolaterd parts back n forth ; with him ,etc  
I’d been away from everything for a while dealing with my dad’s battle  
, n eventual losing him to same cancers recently  
These fellas fought this horrible disease as warriors , staying as positive  
As possible , and will be sadly missed  
I’ve just recently gotten back online , realizing the passing of Jim also  
My condolences to his family and very saddened at the loss of this great fella  
He was larger than life , and honored that I got to talk with him whenever I did  
Thanks Jim for being a great mentor for many , and for being an example of what a good hard working , honest family man is .. Will never forget you  
Will speak of you in the highest regards always , condolences to the family again , and may you Rest In Peace Jim
