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]

Logical has been one of the original posters here and much appreciated. All the stuff that needed to be said has been said here. I think we should do this. I think he deserves this.

This too. If not permanently, maybe at least for a year.
(Edit: I have noticed several other posters have suggested this as well. I'm fully behind this idea. I wonder if a vote is even needed.) [Reply]
Wow, I'm sorry I missed this thread until now. Jim, despite some of his stances, was a good guy, IMO. He will be missed on Chiefs Planet. Prayers for your family in dealing with the grief of a passed loved one. [Reply]
James-
God bless you and your family. Based on a previous post you made, I think you and your family can take comfort that he is now in a better place with no suffering and enjoying the after life as God has intended and promised through Jesus. [Reply]
Prayers and thoughts for you and your family. I never had the honor of meeting Jim in person but I know that I enjoyed conversing with him through this medium. It will never be the same without him. [Reply]
