I am truly saddened to here this.

Jim was always helpful and friendly with me personally and had kind words for our site. I have admired his skill and seemingly endless knowledge of the C= product since the early-1980's.

He was certainly a legendary figure in the C= world and I am certain he will be missed by many.

www.commodore.ca sends its most sincere condolences to his family and close friends.

Jim was a very talented man. He was (and still is) an inspiration. I'm very thankful for what he brought to the world of computing. When I see or hear the name "Commodore" I always think of Jim.

He won't be forgotten.
