Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,301 | It says that Jim made 5,260 posts and he joined 2 months before I did.
I read most of them, sometimes laughing, sometimes smiling at his wonderful way with words. Sometimes just sad that he was having such a hard time of it.
I considered myself one of his angels and will miss him greatly.
No longer in pain Rest in Peace EzJim!

Jim joined the forum about a year after me and I enjoyed reading his posts. He was always there to welcome the newbies and offer an encouraging word to all. His posts often made me laugh and despite his troubles he was there to support all his OCF friends.
RIP EzJim! My condolences to his family and all those who loved him. He will be missed.

Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 945 | Jim was a wonderful man, and will be greatly missed. We discussed the joys of being out on a tractor - big or little - in the spring. And that was part of his spirit - he did not let the darkness and pain of the cancer eclipse the beauty of the world and the love of his family and friends. I guess the term for that is 'framily' now, and he did have a very large one.
