With the only possible exception being KarlK, NOBODY ripped me harder AND left me laughing my ass off at the same time. If that's not what this internet message board interaction is really all about, I don't know what is.

He seemed like a Hell of a guy. Sounds like he approached this with grace and class.

This is horrible news. He was such a genuinely good person that could always make anyone laugh.
Several years ago I went from posting regularly at CF to hardly posting for several months as I was inundated with work. I received a call during the day: "Baldy?" I was so confused. Then he follows-up with "this is Jim or as you've named me, Blacky" I dropped what I was doing and we talked on the phone for quite some time. Throughout the years we would go back & forth via PM's & emails....he really didn't receive text messages which I eventually learned was true. Very sad to hear about his passing but also feel fortunate to have gotten to know him. I regret not meeting up with him when I stayed in New Orleans. We talked about getting together but my g/f at the time threw a huge fit & threatened to cancel our several week road trip if I was going to meet up with some guy I met on the internet. I hope Jim's family is doing well as this must be extremely difficult for them. His Father lost his wife several years ago & now his son. |

Jimm~E was one of a kind!*
No doubt the best looking and smartest guy on this forum. * We have chatted over the years via phone too many times to count. * His “black” Cajun accent was perfection as was his amazing personality. *His main loves were *his family, hunting, his dog, music, seafood/Fish Fridays with his Dad and his grandson. *He also knew his girlfriend and sister had a close watch over him being that they were nurses. * *. He was more concerned about how this was going to affect his son and Dad than his own situation. We spoke on a weekly basis the last few months. *His “dumb” phone was always turned off so you had to wait for him to call you. *I can still hear his “How you doin girl?!” That accent alone made me laugh no matter what he was saying. * Despite his recent health struggles, he always had a bright spirit and never failed to make great conversation that resulted in both of us cutting up laughing. *He knew his time was ending, but had a peace with it because he was a man of faith. * Being a man of God, *we know he is in a place far better than we are. *He will be sorely missed, although I might not miss some of his 1st photo shop creations of me. * RIP buddy. *You will be so VERY missed!!! love* Kand~E |

Sadly, it seems as time goes on, I’m adding more and more to the already long list of those lost to this insidious disease
Yesterday is gone, today is fleeting, and tomorrow is not promised to any of us…a reminder to live each day as if it were your last. May he rest in peace and be blessed by God. 🙏 The Dash - by Linda Ellis I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend He referred to the dates on the tombstone From the beginning...to the end He noted that first came the date of birth And spoke the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years For that dash represents all the time That they spent alive on earth. And now only those who loved them Know what that little line is worth For it matters not, how much we own, The cars...the house...the cash. What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash. So, think about this long and hard. Are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough To consider what's true and real And always try to understand The way other people feel. And be less quick to anger And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect And more often wear a smile, Remembering this special dash Might only last a little while So, when your eulogy is being read With your life's actions to rehash... Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent YOUR dash? |

This really hit me hard this past week. We have been talking for many years by phone and by pm’s. I was waiting on a reply to my last one sent to him, and got the news he was gone I will miss many things about this man. We had some deep conversations along the way. He helped me through a difficult time in my life. To say I will miss him is an understatement. His laugh, his humor, his chops, his wisdom. Just some of the things, but at heart just a good guy. I try to be the same every day. RIP my friend. You will not be forgotten.

Sorry to hear the news. Interacted with Strats mostly over at CF. Always would help with photoshop requests. He did one for my supervisor. They were hysterical. Rest in peace my brother.
