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]
Jim wasn't nearly as logical as he tried to portray himself to be, but he had a unique ability to remain almost dispassionate while he was beating you down if you displayed what he viewed as dumbassery.

I miss that guy.
When he changed his name to Vlad Logicslav (after changing his politics from conservative to liberal), I started calling him Vlib Logiclost. He seemed to get a kick out of it. [Reply]
Logical was my favorite person of all time. You know he looks down on us once in a while, smiling, laughing, saying we are all still a bunch of dumb asses!
Make sure to keep all the angels on their toes, Jim! :-) [Reply]
I always figured God must be a CHIEFS fan, because he doesn't make it easy for any of us. This ain't no bandwagon group. With that in mind, I'm guessing Jim has seats on the celestial 50 yard line and some damned good company up there. [Reply]

Jim is now trolling Lamar, Hank and DT 24/7. [Reply]
I joined this forum right around the time Jim did. We had alot of disagreements over the years, sometimes he got on my nerves (especially his love for Jeremy Shockey).
But I respected him, we got along most of the time, and this is truly a sad day. I'm sorry for the family. My thoughts are with the family. [Reply]

I've been out of the picture for several years now but yeah, he meant a lot to this place both on the front end and the back end. Hopefully Kyle has found another well-off member to pick up the monetary slack for Jim.

yeah and I don't even get a thank you note from AustinChief. :-)
j/k
I got to meet Jim in person at a Planet tailgate one year. We had a lot of fun meeting each other for the first time after talking on the board for years. I do miss him on the board. Wish he was still here. He is missed. Salu Jim! :-) [Reply]
