Not at all. My own dad died nearly a year ago, too....after a brief and merciful battle with cancer. Whenever I think of my own dad, I also think of Jim. As 'odd' as that may seem to some....Jim, regardless of our disagreements, was a good man.
CP is not the same place it used to be; for both good and bad reasons. Jim is one of the things the "new" planet is missing. RIP, Jim. [Reply]

Not everybody knew it but he basically paid for the place for several years out of his own pocket. His single annual donation vastly outweighed the combined donations of all others. I've been out of the picture for several years now but yeah, he meant a lot to this place both on the front end and the back end. Hopefully Kyle has found another well-off member to pick up the monetary slack for Jim. [Reply]

How much does it cost to run this site? I'd say every member donate this year to honor Jim. [Reply]

yeah and I don't even get a thank you note from AustinChief. :-)
j/k
I got to meet Jim in person at a Planet tailgate one year. We had a lot of fun meeting each other for the first time after talking on the board for years. I do miss him on the board. Wish he was still here. He is missed. Salu Jim! :-) [Reply]
