This is not a thread about who likes him, who doesnt like him, who he upset, what the moderators think of him but just letting some that may care about their fellow man know that he has been sick. Had a couple stints in the hospital.
I went round and round with him several times but did check on him. I hope him the very best.
I care about him.
Send him a shout out by email
May the Lord bless him and take care of him.
Thanks for letting me know. I've talked to him some. He definitely has his opinions, but grounded in experience.

Yes, Jim is well grounded in experience. I like him, and have communicated with him off and on since he left here.
Jim is opinionated based on many years of personal experience. I always enjoyed his candor on this sight. Been a while sense I last spoke to him. Hope he recovers soon.
Thanks for the heads up. I do care about him. Enjoyed his posts, learned a lot from him, and have corresponded via PMs. Hope he gets better. 44MAG#1, could you PM me with he's email address?
Thanks for the heads up. Praying for a speedy recovery and return to what we all love. Shooting and casting.
Jim and I got along just fine and I will pray for him!!
I don't know the man but I will add him to my prayer list.

Gee whiz. I hope he recovers fully. IIRC, he's in his 80's. He certainly did some fine gunsmithing, too. I still remember his Kentucky rifle he carved from scratch. And he reported his own personal TESTS, and not just opinion, repeated infinitum until they've become truisms. I love the crotchety old rascal. His passing would be a great loss to us all. He's a real gem, even if in the rough, so to speak. I pray for his recovery.
I wish he wouldn't have gotten himself banned, folks like him are the spice of a good forum.
Please keep us updated on him. I haven't been on here much in the last few years but I am back lol. He did some revolver cylinder work for me some time back really nice guy and very experienced.
My idea of gun control is a firm grip
I don't remember the name but he sounds a lot like me and I wish him well. I will pray for a kindred spirit. God bless him.

I met Jim, and shot with him several years ago. Good man. I wish him well.
Best wishes for him . Gotta like anyone that may be as curmudgeony as me .
Anyone want him, I have his email address with permission to offer to anyone that misses him.
I wish him the best and speedy recovery.Originally Posted by Bazoo
Under previous owners his style was not an issue. He didn't change this site did.
We went around and around on a lot of issues. That always lead to interesting and spicy discussion that brought forth lot of good information that benefited all.
His conclusions generally were spot on. The areas of disagreement were mostly on how he reached his conclusions. I really do miss his posts.

Hey Bazoo
I’d like to send him my regards. I called him last year, and really enjoyed speaking with him. Will call him again tomorrow, but just in case, I’d appreciate his email address. Thanks for offering to share it! Harles.
Hope Jim is well just sent him an e-mail
Hit em'hard
hit em'often
I miss him too. We had a "discussion" about primers and H110 that still brings a smile to my face. Jim, we are thinking about you and wish you a speedy recovery.
IT AINT what ya shoot--its how ya shoot it. NONE of us are as smart as ALL of us!
Yup, if I could afford it, I'd buy him a brand new Freedom Arms .44.
