JALLEN has passed away

November 04, 2018, 09:42 PM

I expect he will be posting his opinion on it soon.

I received a reply to an email I sent to Jim from Martine asking me to pass on that Jim passed away early Friday morning.

Absolutely heartbreaking new but not unexpected.

Most of us would be fortunate to live half the life he did

May he be at peace

Thanks for letting us know, we knew it was a matter of time but the inevitable has happened.
Martine is a lovely and gentle lady, I will be praying for her comfort during this very hard time.

He will definitely be missed, and by more than just his SIG family.

I am saddened

Fair winds and following seas shipmate. May your adventure be peaceful and fun.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

This makes me legitimately sad. It shouldn’t, I didn’t know him. Hell he was just some words on the interwebz but ........ if true, prayers are offered up and I am genuinely mourning the man.

May he find the peace that we all so fear yet so desire. May the good Lord turn a blind eye to his human frailties and offer open arms for all the things he accidentally got right.

Rest In Peace brother. Folks in this modern age thousands of miles away will miss you and raise a glass to your memory this day. Go shoot some clay with Dave McCrackin, and maybe offer your thoughts about the high power with Stephen Camp. Maybe burn some rounds with Horse but what ever you do don’t try to out shoot Todd Green or the other greats up there.
