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]
Words can't really express how this news affects me. I'm very sorry to hear this. Terribly sorry. Based on his absence and the information Mr. Logical shared with me in the past regarding his health conditions, I had a feeling something was wrong. I'm shocked and stunned.
I never met Mr. Logical in person, but so far as one board member can consider another a friend, I certainly think of him that way. My condolences to the family and my very best wishes to Mr. Logical. I am most happy that he made peace with God and am certain that he will be welcomed by the Maker with open arms should that time come.
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
I'm glad to hear that Jim is at peace and has a supportive and loving family around him during his time of need. I'm saddened to read that his health has taken a turn for the worse, but the Jim we've all come to know on the Planet seems to be a stubborn old cuss and a fighter. I wouldn't be surprised to read, and I hope and wish, that he bounces back. Best of luck Jim/Vlad/Logical/Cronus. [Reply]
James, thank you for the post. I am heartbroken to hear this (thank you, Frankie, for giving me the heads up) and for once in my life have no words to express how I feel about a situation.
Jim will laugh at the idea of me being speechless. All of you are in my prayers. [Reply]
James, it was very evident to me that your father is a warm and caring man. I value his friendship greatly and wish you all strength from above through this difficult time.
It's a sad day at Chiefsplanet. I'd like to propose putting Jim's picture up on the header for a period of time with the family's permission of course. RIP Jim. You were a helluva guy. [Reply]
