Very sad to loose another one! RIP Jim...

Shocked to see this. Jim made a point of meeting me when I joined the board and bought my first 914. Super nice guy.

Very sad. Condolences to the family.

Oh no . Very sad news. We'll miss you Jim. Rest in peace.

RIP Jim

What!?
What's the story, I didn't even know he was that old, this is a shock to me!
He was always upbeat and easy to talk with.

Met him when I wax first shopping for a 914, his was the first 914 I ever looked at up close.

Man, this is a tough one...

Jim - we will miss you buddy RIP

I'm just reading this sad news. I was just discussing motor upgrades with him the past month. He said he was recuperating from some recent health issues.
So sorry. My sympathies to Jims' family. Godspeed Jim.
Miss ya buddy.
So sad.

Another great fountain of info has been lost. RIP Jim.

RIP

I am deeply shocked and saddened by this news.

I met Jim at my very first Hershey show long before my car was on the road. An absolute gentlemen and a pleasure to hang out with.

He was always willing to help people out. Both on 914world and in real life. Just last week he dropped off a loaner ECU at Matt's for me to borrow. He then suggested a work party to help get Matt's car back on the road.

RIP Jim. Deepest condolences to his family. He was a good man.

R.I.P.

I did not have the pleasure of ever meeting Jim. He sounds like a terrific guy. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP Jim!!!

Jims' 914 at Lattimore Speedway last year.

.......But he's always been there.... you would just call him up or PM him or go to an event and he was there ...... too sad....too shocking. One of my bestest teener buddies. Rest in peace and godspeed to Jim. My condolences to the family, it's a great loss to them and all of us.

RIP Jim! Sorry to hear we lost another long time 914 world member. I never met him but read many of his posts. Good guy who will be missed.

Another good one gone.....RIP

Met Jim at the first Posche swap meet I went to some years ago. I went by myself and didn't know anyone there. I saw a white 914 and as I approached it he asked, "Hey, you want to buy it?". He befriended me there and has always "been there". He always had a cool calming effect about him. Jim, you will truly be missed; a great friend and person. The events won't be the same ...... RIP.

Holy shit no.
No.

:-(

Jim was one of the core guys at Mid Atlantic events. He helped me with the Mid Engine Invasion for years, and was one of the first guys to pick up the slack after I burned out. He's been up to my place many times to help with stuff. Just an all around good guy. I knew he had been having health issues that kept him from Hershey this year, but last I talked with Jim he was recovering well.

You are going to be missed.

Zach

RIP Jim

Sorry to read this here. R.I.P.

RIP Jim
Prayers for family.

RIP.

Sad news
Condolences to Jim's Family.

Shocking and sad news. Had been in touch with Jim recently and he seemed to be recovering nicely. One of the good guys in our midst. Here's a pic from Latimore a couple years ago. Jim was explaining something to Bob (Saigon71). It was either imitating how the rust mites come out when the garage lights go out or how to SQUEEZE every ounce of power out of a type IV. Things wont be the same without you Buddy. My condolences to his family and the NOVA guys who were close with him.

Very sorry to hear this. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

Sad news.

You will be missed.

RIP Jim.

RIP and may the roads always be freshly paved with plenty of nice curves as he cruises in his 'teener on sunny days.

......Peace.....type47(prayers to family)

If you haven't looked at Jim's blog it's pretty cool. We should link it somehow to the "classics" section. Some projects and a HUGE collection of 914 VINs and photos. He should have his own memorial VIN# like 4742944747.

Jim's Awesome Blog

RIP

Condolences to the family.

Wow.

Thanks for the tip on the blog. Doing CIS is on my bucket list.

Last entry was 7-14-15. He was just here.


May your next drives and travels be as peaceful and joyful Jim.
