[NSRCA-discussion] Sad News District 7

[Woodward, Jim R (US SSA)]

This is sad Jarvis.  Thank you for letting us know.  Jim had a few quirks and he put the 'Focus' to the test for sure.  However, he also brought someone with him from time to time as well as his son once in a while.
Take Care,
Jim W.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Sad News District 7

I am saddened to report that long-time District 7 member and pattern<http://www.rcuniverse.com/buynow/keywordclick.cfm?bid_id=7017> flyer, Jim Brown, passed away on Monday, August 16th after a long bout with cancer. Jim was a fixture on the Dist 7 pattern scene for many, many years. He traveled to all the contests faithfully in northern and southern california. I recall traveling with Jim to Gardnerville a couple of years ago when driving thru the Mammoth area with rain pouring down. I asked Jim: "Hey... you think it may be a good idea to turn on the windshield wipers???.... Jim's response: "I can see!!!" Another time traveling with going north on the 5 Freeway traveling to the Hollister contest, Jim was driving making sure not to exceed the 65 mile speed limit...while in the fast lane! Never moving and cars passing by flipping us the bird! Jim's response: "let them go around!" when I asked "shouldn't you move over to the right lane?"... I have many fun memories of Jim who could as you can tell be a stuborn geezer, but we loved him just as he was. Jim, you will be missed. Keep your wings level and stay in the box.

For those interested in saying goodbye here are the details of the viewing and funeral service:

Viewing Friday August 20 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm at Pierce Brothers Mortuary located at 13002 Central Ave., Chino, CA 91710. Rosary at 6:00 pm
