HOrnbrod Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Damn Pete. So sad to hear this. So many PMs with him over the years. We both worked at the Army Kwajalein Missile Range for several years although at different times. Knew a lot of the same guys there and we swapped a lot of stories over the years back-channel. He was a hell of a guy and I'm sorry I never met him in person. Jim turned 83 in April of this year. RIP big guy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahooSteeler Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 RIP Jim! Pete, how old was Jim? Was he ill or just his time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdwillys Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I really enjoyed reading his posts. Always had very witty comments and great humor. One of those people that I wish I had the opportunity to meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHMJXJ Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 He was very active when I first found CC.com ... It was evident to me from the start he was a major contributor who shared his knowledge of our trucks freely. He certainly had a bunch of'em. I recognized his absence and wondered what had become of him. Sorry to hear of his passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Jim was around 80 and had a stroke a couple years ago. His health had been dwindling ever since, but he wasn't ill with anything. It was just his time and he went in his sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13 Legion Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 RIP Jim. Sorry as well to hear about his passing. Like NHMJXJ above stated, Jim was a major contributor to the club when I first joined. His comments were always witty and I know he was an avid collector of MJs! I remember last I heard he was wanting to sell some of them off and some members were going to take a trip out to his place. Rest easy Sir. It was enjoyable reading some of your comments to others dilemmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
