Since I first learned of Jim's passing, I've been pondering what I could say about him that hasn't been said by someone else. I first met Jim at my first York and I came to realize that here was this nice guy who had a lot knowledge and wanted to share it with everyone. I grabbed up all the Back Shop videos when they came out and couldn't wait for the next issue of the magazine so see what Jim was going to write about or show us. Well, as far as I'm concerned, Jim went out in a blaze of glory. This past weekend I downloaded my digital copy of Run 315 and, for my money, Jim hit a home run with his last Back Shop article. It was explaining how the accessory ports on the MTH AIU could be used for lighting. He made it seem so simple that you'll wonder why you didn't think of it. So, all I can think of to say is that I'm glad that Jim was a part of my life and he will be sorely missed.
