Our condolences to Jim's family at their loss. I know Jim from high school days and my husband Louie worked with him for those 30 years at Tamco. I like many people from Cucamonga bought bikes and parts from him for many years. Thanks for all your smiles Jim! You will be missed.

Thank you Jim for your kindness and help you gave to me in finding the right bikes for my 2 children with Special Needs. You went out of your way to not only help me find/research the right types that they could each ride, but then offering to deliver them to our home since Shelby's would never fit in my car...Just another example of what a wonderful man with a loving heart you were. I will always remember the smile on your face each time you walked into Brandon's and saw your beautiful daughter. Even though I would then think of my dad and miss him, the love in your eyes and smile for Debbie would brighten my heart. I am honored to have met you. Lisa

My heart is so heavy to know my child hood friend has left us, but rejoice in the fact he is in heaven and no longer in pain. There were many times when i was a teen thatn Jim and I shared good times and bad times, but I always knew he was there for me. As we reconnected in our mid life once again I found the comfort and peace of being with my long time friend. May his beautiful family lean on one another in the coming months and years and feel Jim's constant love coming down to them from heaven. He was surely "one of a kind" and I will miss him terribly.
