I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news for many of you who were good friends with jim, but you know he went into hospice just a few months ago after struggling alone for a while , , he has now died.. I can't tell you any more than that... but almost exactly one year since his beloved wife died he's gone to be with her .

May he always R.I.P....

Thank you Holly for letting us know about Jim. I know he was heartbroken when his wife passed on, and was in poor health himself. Jim was a good person with a warm heart. I'm very sad to hear he is no longer with us, but I hope he has some comfort to be with his beloved wife who he loved so dearly. Rest peacefully Jim, we will never forget you,

 

[Pinky]

Very sad news. May he rest in peace.

Thank you Hollydolly for letting us know. I will miss AZ Jim. I liked him and he was very kind. He just seemed lost when his beloved Detta died and I think he just lost heart. Rest in peace, old friend.

 

[RadishRose]

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen

I had wondered what happened with him, and I am also sad to hear of his passing, but know how much he missed his beloved wife.
Thank you for letting us know, @hollydolly .

I was thinking of him last night and was going to post and ask if anyone has heard from him lately. Rest in eternity with your sweet wife AZ Jim.

I figured he'd passed

We had a few close PMs

They're gems now

His last PM to me;

'I love ya brother.....'

My reply;
'Yer a class act, man

All the way

absolute pleasure knowing you....and knowing of you

yessir'

Last from Jim;
'Likewise Gary...It's a pleasure knowing you...You are one of the main reasons I love it here...'

 

[Kaila]

Thanks for sharing that with us, Gary O...

You guys make it sooooooo easy

I'm the one soaking up the rays

Jim was an extraordinary being, that stood tall in understated class

There are a hand full of others here that stand in that limited space

It's what puts this forum in another realm for me

I did not get to meet him from this forum but from reading other post, he seemed to be a pretty good guy.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

Such a shame. I enjoyed his posts. I hope he and his wife are together again.

Thanks @hollydolly for sharing the information with us. I do not think he ever really recovered from loosing his dear wife, now that are reunited and I am sure both happy together again.
Happy Trails, Jim. You were not forgotten here.

I just think of this song when I think of our friend Jim. Here is is with his beloved wife Detta, may they both rest peacefully and know they are loved and will be fondly remembered.

So sorry to hear that, Jim was a nice and considerate person. We exchanged some PMs, he appreciated this forum, and I appreciated his participation, I liked to address him by sir. I was very glad that he returned to SF and shared his last few years with us after politics was banned. Thanks @hollydolly for letting us know.

 

[jujube]

He was such a nice soul and a real gentleman. Thank you for letting us know, Holly.

 

[Marie5656]

Yet another memory of Jim. I remember his frustration with cooking for himself. He never did quite get the hang of it. We had a few PM conversations about it.

 

[treeguy64]

I, too, was thinking of him, only a few days ago. I was hoping to get an update on him, in here, but I'm saddened to get this news, tonight. We PM'd a few times, and he was a genuinely nice guy.

RIP, AJ.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Holly thanks for sharing this sad news about Jim.

 

[Pink Biz]

That is very sad news. I didn't really know him but got a chuckle reading about his cooking woes. He tried so hard and seemed proud when he made himself a nice little meal. RIP Jim.

 

[Ruthanne]

He is now with his beloved.

I have missed him since he's been gone. We had pmed. Really great guy!

Much peace to you AZJim.
