Aussie Jim RIP

[Swifty]

I just read on another forum that Aussie Jim passed away yesterday. I see by his profile that he was a member here for the last 5 years, although I had never met him, he seemed very keen on model engine making and often commented on posts.

That's sad news. I only knew of Jim through the forum but he was a good guy and always helpful. He once sent me a set plans even though I had email issues and he had to resend some of the pages multiple times.

I know he travelled to the U.S. for some engine shows and made a lot of friends around the world. RIP Jim.

Hi Paul and Cogsy,

We were supposed to get together with him at a Model Engine Show in Melbourne year before last but it was cancelled. Would have been nice to meet personally.

Hi Mates.Take Care. As for me I have the last 10 yards to run before completing the V-2 and taking my sweet time no rush.

That is sad news. I really like what he did with Jan Ridders simple 2 stroke. He didn't just make it, he made it his own.

Sad news indeed. I did get to meet him at the cabin fever show a couple years ago. Great guy. I will miss his encouraging posts.

Very sad news. Always had very informative posts and words of encouragement. RIP Jim.

I've spoken with Jim via Skype several times about model engineering. Very nice guy, he will be missed.
