So sorry to hear that. I will miss the snow pictures outside his house he would PM to me and his news from Colorado. I considered him one of my best friends on the forum. He will be missed. Condolences to all his family.

Very sorry to hear this. We've had an unfortunate run of sudden deaths here. Everyone please visit your doctor. Jeepers. It's kind of hard to believe. He wasn't even that old.
Wow, so sad. I never knew the guy, but I liked his posts and his cat pics. I know he’s just a fellow forum-goer but it feels like I lost someone I knew. I just don’t know how to describe it.

Oh wow. I knew it wasn't a good outcome when I saw there were 21 new posts since I checked earlier today.
My condolences to his family and friends. For those interested, here is a pic from the Lincoln Road Show thread which documents James participation in filling the Lincoln penny folder back in July. His handle is the first name on the list in the folder. His spirit will live on as we complete our mission of having forum members fill the folder:
I will contact @Fraz and suggest we donate the folder to the family in remembrance of James.😇

In almost 20 years of being on this forum I cannot recall a year where we've seen as much loss to the hobby as we have this year. I dearly hope to see this trend stop.

I feel you bro only been here since May and never met the 2 gentlemen that suddenly passed but lt feels like I have lost a long time friend and it emotionally effects me tremendously hard to explain the tears while typing this. Sending prayers to his friends and family
I'm saddened by the news of another member's passing. Never had the opportunity to meet in person but had a number of interactions with him and feel I've lost a friend.
My thoughts and prayers to his entire family and friends.

I am going to assume many of you would like to send a card or written correspondence to his family. Though I am not at liberty to give out the address I can arrange to have such forwarded to his son. Just drop me a pm .
Sad news. If there is an obituary, I would love to read it should someone post. My condolences to his family that he loved so dearly.
RIP, friend. May you be surrounded by cats, coffee, and coins

@Fraz and @Tom147 have agreed to the idea of donating to James' family the Lincoln Road Show cents folder upon completion as I mentioned in a previous post.😎
Please help us complete the mission sooner by participating if possible. Thank you!
RIP Jim. I didn't know him as thoroughly as some here, but we chatted occasionally via PM, usually about a thread topic. Too many of the good guys are leaving us.
People are given a finite number of years, months, days, hours, etc. to live their lives.
As people get older, it would be a good idea for them to keep this point in mind. Devote yourself to things that are positive, uplifting and joyous. Minimize dealing with negative stuff. Doing so will allow you to live a good life; and enjoy the ride.
