As many of you know my Dad (Logical) has been in the hospital since January. He has been fighting a bunch of different problems, and it looked like he was going to beat it, and make it home. Unfortunately, in the past week things took a real turn for the worse. It is my understanding that he has at most two weeks left, but from what I can see myself, it probably won't be that long.
I know he really valued this board and a lot of the people on it. I wanted you all to know that he may of been a person that liked to stir things up, but he is one of the most caring people that this world has ever had to offer. He helped raise my sisters and I to be strong, loving, and intelligent people.
In these past few months, he has again found the Lord, and I strongly believe it is simply God calling him home. Please remember him for the good times, and do not judge him to harshly for the times he gave any of you heck.
He is my father, and a great man.
Thank You,
James
Update: My father passed away this morning at 7:30 am (pst). For the most part it was peaceful, my sisters and I were there with him to last second. He will be missed.
My sister read him many of your replies, and she told me he really enjoyed it. Thank you for all your kind words. [Reply]
He was one of the first guys to make me feel welcome when I first joined here. I think we all too often forget that there are actual people behind these names. People with families, stories to tell, and wisdom to share. Jim certainly had plenty of it, and in a community like this, it showed from his postings more than most.

RIP Jim, you will be missed by so many of us here.
I know I've lost a great friend. Though we never got to meet, the conversations we had on here will be cherished memories that I can always look back on fondly. I know that along with the others who settled the planet in the early days, you were one of our founding fathers, and helped make this place what it is today. I for one know I'm a better person for having known you. God bless you & your family. [Reply]
James, I'm truly sorry for your loss. Jim was a well respected member of our little football board and he will be missed by me and all members who thought fondly of him.

Now that's a fine idea. I don't see why we couldn't. It would be fitting to honor Jim in that fashion. :-) [Reply]
Awe man, my true condolences for your loss your Dad (Jim, Logical,Cronus) was a cool cat. Really, best wishes trying to cope through this great loss of yours and your family in general. [Reply]
