about it guys... That’s the D4 D5 guys that is... When we found out
he was sick, we weren’t sure he’d be around for the July 4th
contest at his home field. He came to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Muncie</st1:place></st1:City> in June...and flew. He flew (and
flew well) at Hoffman in July. We all got to party with him at the
Nats...some of us thinking we were saying goodbye when we parted.<br>
<br>
Hello?? This was Jimmy! He showed up in Toledo in August to fly at a new
contest there...and then...just to teach us what matters...he came to Cincy in
September WITH A NEW PLANE he’d finished!!<br>
<br>
Never a complaint. Never a whimper. The man was proud and I’m proud
of him. Proud to have known him. Bob...you said it well, we lost a
brother. <br>
<br>
I’m sad. I’ll be going to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Chicago</st1:place></st1:City> to say goodbye. But I
hope those of you that are there will also join me in a drink to our friend and
a drink to our hobby. It brought us together, it brought Jimmy joy, and
it will help us remember him. <br>
<br>
One last thing. I can’t say I knew Jimmy outside of modeling. But
I can say I know that he knew what was important. I’ll always
remember that his focus was people. Family, friends...that was his focus.<br>
<br>
Thanks for a life lesson Jim and thanks for letting me share part of yours.<br>

Thanks for letting us all know. Jimmy was a great guy and the timing of your
note is really something. Today, when I was walking Rufus during my lunch
hour, I was thinking of Jimmy wondering how he was getting along. He will
be missed by all of us.<br>

We regret to announce that Jimmy has succumb to the cancer that
he's been fighting for the last year. He will be missed. I will get the
details of his funeral as soon as they are available. He was the heart of
the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chicago</st1:place></st1:City>
group and a true friend to all of us.<br>
