RIP buddy!

There are no right words to say about something like this. I've never met James, but that doesn't change the feeling of losing a very close family member. Susan and James are on my prayer list and have also been added to our church's list. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hands.gif)

This morning we lost a good one...

If you haven't yet, I would implore you to please donate to the Montebello family. The link is on page #4 of this thread and in various banners throughout.

100% of the proceeds will go to the family (meaning, we are covering the PayPal fees on this donation).

Show your gratitude for the tremendous contributions James has made to this board and to our lives. His words and wisdom will live on here.

Thanks James! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

James's friend Patrick (pffft on this board) posted on the Fiat board this morning that James has passed on:

"James died at about 1:30 this morning.

From Susan, his wife:
"He was surrounded by family. He never suffered, and
he is at peace now.""

My deepest sympathies for his wife, family and friends. What a terrible, sudden loss.

May he rest in peace,

Thanks for everything James. I'll do my best to finish the advance curve that you were helping me on. Peace to you, your family, and friends.

I like the idea Mifsud had about doing a memorial in the form of a parts donation section for folks feeling generous. This would remember a great guy in perpetuity by doing something that he always did, giving.

Keep us posted if there is anything that we can do, of course.

We already missed your presence, James.

Another good one taken from us.

Anyone in the Bay Area know the memorial/funeral arrangements?

What a bummer...

Raise your glass in memory of a true 914-nut tonight!
