Thanks for being my friend, Jim. We had some great fun pulling the 806 and 1066 with the 88 for the light classes. People will never know how much fun we had. Blessings to Teresa and Jimmy and family. Dear Jim, Rest In Peace.

My thoughts and prayers to Jim's Family.. I met Jim at The NTPA Summer Tractorpull at Georgetown at probably the 1st year of the summer pull. Neither of us knew each other, but after a few minutes of talk we were friends and would see or set together at several pulls for years afterwards. He was a great man to know and had many friends in common and swapped a lot pulling stories. One thing I remember was he was a true Diesel Tractor man and I was a " noise maker ( Blown V-8 Tractors ) man. Rest in peace Jim !!. Randy.
