I am with great sorrow to the family and friends of Jim.
I knew Jim online and had corresponded with him a number of times about his and my favorite make of guns. He had a great knowledge of the history and technical specs of H&R Firearms.
The loss of Jim is very saddening. I do hope one of his kinfolk carries on with his legacy.

I only knew Jim for the online help he gave me in restoring an old revolver. He was very patient and very instructive.
My condolences to the family of a real gentleman...

Carol,
Remembering Jim's great stories and his sense of humor. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Carol our sincerest condolences to you and Jim's family. He was a warm, friendly guy who was great to talk with about almost anything. My fondest memory of him was when I had just gotten that remote-controlled Stuart Army Tank and the boys were playing with it outside one time, and he wandered over to watch- and he himself became a little boy again for a few minutes when we let him have the remote control. Godspeed to Jim, your neighbors- Randy, Star and the boys.
