He was the last guy I had a in depth bench race session with. We talked fords for about an hour in the Cabelas parking lot. I even tried to buy his cougar. He would not budge. What a huge loss to our community. RIP Jim.

Sadly, I never got the chance to meet him ftf (or drive the Cougar).

Couple years back, a girlfriend of my wife’s had car trouble. She brought her old car over and it was in rough shape. I fixed a bunch of things, but got to the point where my knowledge gave out. I contacted WaJim and explained the issue. I also let him know that this person was short on funds, so he could decide if he wanted to tackle this job. WaJim agreed to look over her car. He fixed what was wrong, and charged her what she could afford. I know he probably barely broke even. He might have even lost money.
She drove that car all the way to Southern California without issue. Helluva mechanic, helluva guy. |

Just curious, does anyone know him and his family personally? I can’t imagine the financial hardship a death brings, but I’m sure this community would help if we could get some information.
Anyone able to set anything up? $20, $50 a person or more adds up and I’m sure they would could really use it now. _________________ A long time ago we had empires run by emperors. Then we had kingdoms run by kings. And now we have countries run by Cu… |

Thanks for letting us know Dana. Sorry to lose another member to cancer, it's insidious. I don't think I ever met him, but I know he gave good advice when I was having truck troubles and I appreciate it. I'll miss him.

Dang it. I've been shooting with Jim and he always kidded me about storing a 1911 that he wanted to buy. He was always available to answer a vehicle question. I lost a cousin Saturday and now a "gun/car buddy". So sad...

A member messaged me and said that the family is financially okay. So that is good to know.
