  This is really sad news. Jim was one of my very favorite people on the river. If there is a paddling heaven he’s definitely in it.

  Jim, Emily Wentz, Raymond and I did a midnight float one New Year’s Eve!! It was COLD! We lost the moon below the dam at Silvermines and we had ice on our drysuits when we got off the river. But it was a Blast! Going to miss him so much!

  Jim was in one of my advanced clinics. In every group of 6-8 there are one or two who “get it”. I know they are going to go on and be great boaters. Jim got it- and I knew after the class I’d see him again on the river- surfing with the best of us! I will miss him.
