I have been digging up emails to invite as manymissing names as possible. I sent an invite to JimmyC and lured him by telling him there were PopTarts in thenew break room. But tonight my last email of the day started ominously...
My name is Diane, I am Jimmy's wife. I am sad to tell you that Jimmy died April 19th of appendix cancer. He was truly the nicest man on this planet, and the void for my three sons and I is as big as the Grand Canyon. He loved hiking so much. Remember him on your next hike.
Sincerely,
Diane
So let's raise a Miller to Jimmy! Goodbye, Jimmy...

Oh no! He had more than his share of misfortune, and his trail ran out too soon. Condolences to his family.

I am very sorry to hear this. Before the BP forums I never would have guessed the size of a hole that could be left by people you hadn't ever met in person. The crowd around Mata's campfire is growing.

That is really sad news. Jimmy C was such a kick. There are few people on these boards I enjoyed bantering with as much as Jimmy. Texas and we all are poorer for his passing. My condolences to his family. He'll be missed.

Man I hate to hear that. My condolences to Diane and their 3 sons. Sarbar said it best. "These are the days I truly feel old"

I awoke this morning to this news. It is sad to hear we lost yet another member of our backpacker family. We will miss Jimmy C and his Texas ways.

I guess the SUVAC won't run out of gas (or cold air) where he's gone. RIP
