Ladies and Gentlemen it is with great sadness I inform you of the passing of one our group-Jim Waits. Jim passed away on June 26, 2004.



You can visit Jim's website at: http://www.rooksbluff.com/

You can also sign his electronic guest book at:

Jim wasn't with our group very long, but in the short time he was here, he became a friend.

Each time I hear thunder, I will know that it's just Jim shooting God's cannon's!

You will be missed my friend

Thanks DD.  I signed his guest book yesterday immediately after reading your post about Jimmy passing away.  He sure did have a lot of interests and seemed to be a very knowledgable chap.  Certainly wasn't very old either!! Makes us all think about trying to do better while we still have the chance........Blaster (Bob in CO)

Nice touch, DD.  

There are times when things need to be voiced.  Many of us are either insensitive or unaware or unable to speak out at times like this.  Again, you've demonstrated leadership by this act.
