IN MEMORIAM - JIM BARRETT

I will miss my friend.  

Sorry to hear this.  My condolences to Jim's family and friends/co-workers.

Jim will definitely be missed.  My condolences to family and friends.

Wow this is a shock. My condolences to his family and friends. Jim always had a smile on his face he will be missed.

Shocked and devastated upon hearing of Jim's passing.  My deepest condolences to Jim's family and friends. He is irreplaceable. I had many conversations with Jim at York and a few times when he came to Edison over the years, always a pleasure. His knowledge and love of our hobby shone brightly in all of our discussions, his posts here on the forum and in the many articles he wrote. He will forever be missed.

Jim was a great ambassador for this hobby.  My condolences to all of his friends, business partners and co-workers at OGR and especially to his family.

Just learned about this today (12/18.) Not as active as I once was. Jim was a true gentleman, a pleasure to be around. He was SO handy with fixing things & had great insights. He came to Wichita, KS for our local club's 20th anniversary blowout in 2005. Jim was larger than life, yet down to earth also. He took a special interest in what we were doing and wrote superb articles on the club & 2 of our members. I wonder how far he got on finishing his basement layout? What a LOSS for the hobby & the magazine. My best to his family.

@Rich Melvin that was a nice tribute to Jim in run 316.  Very fitting. 

Thanks!

Every time I see this post I simply cannot believe it. Didn’t know him personally other than York conversations but it still hurts like losing a best friend.

Thank you, Marty.

Rich,

I had the privilege of meeting you and Jim, and it was so sad to hear he passed.  Jim and I spoke many times over the phone and at York.  He had wonderful ideas and presented them well in his backshop videos.  Heartfelt condolences to you and his friends.
