Jim just passed away peacefully and pain free. Like my last post in the other thread, words cannot express how thankful he was for all your friendships, thoughts and prayers. He won’t have to worry about marking seats anymore as he will have the best view forever. Love you my friend and will always cherish our time together.

I had a feeling Jim knew, I lost a very close friend about 2 years ago, and he called to tell me he was going to leave, but he was good with the way he was leaving, I know I'll never forget him, and he is content, just as Jim is now, RIP Jim, you had your way. Bob

There’s nothing else to say that we haven’t said already. We were blessed to be there as he transitioned to that big race track in the sky. At peace. No more pain. Save our seats for us buddy and we’ll see you later. You’ve won the ultimate race. 🏁♥️

Ditto. And Tony & Amy are angels. Jim’s angels. Great friends who look out for each other. Jim was a lucky man to have so many people love and care for him. And we were lucky for Jim’s friendship and love over the years.

Really sorry to read this. Jim sounded like a guy who was legendary and a friend to all. Kudos to you Chief, for your care for Jim and encouraging others to pray and reach out to him. Rest in peace.

I'm at a loss for words. Jim is the first friend I made on IOW. When Shondra introduced us we became instant friends. I loved our phone calls during the week where we solved all the problems in the racing world.

I'm gonna miss you buddy!!

RIP Jim. I didn't know him as long as many of you. I enjoyed talking to him. He was a true tough guy.
