Take care and fair winds. When "The News" gets posted in SF, JALLEN will always be in my mind.

As you can see, Jim, you’re held in high regard by your friends here. And you’ll be missed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and advice with us over the years.

Thank you for your informative, thoughtful, and thought provoking posts. You have touched many and remain in our prayers.

From your invisible friend,
Charles

Ive always enjoyed the wisdom you have shared with us JALLEN.

Thank you good sir.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family. Thanks for your service to our country - when we get the eventual news, know a half mast flag will be flown and taps will be played in your honor.

It was an honor to have met you JAllen. (Five Guys in the Quarry with the TXCHL bunch if you've forgot).

I wish the best for you and your family during this time, and it has been a pleasure being your otherwise invisible friend.

Some time ago, I recall having shared with you that my father had died with, but not from, IPF. Since that time, with the announcement of each new medication or new treatment regimen, few and infrequent as they were, I hoped that the advances would be sufficient to allow you to fall into that category.

I have very much enjoyed reading your posts over the years. In many cases, they have expanded my knowledge and occasionally they've changed my thinking on certain subjects.

I wish you and your family all the best.

I suppose you have to go someday. What’s good is you’re able to prepare for it. What’s especially sad for me is that it seems like only recently were you able to make your way to Texas. It would have been nice if you could enjoy your state longer.

When I had the lung cancer scare and thought I wasn’t long, I didn’t ask people for prayers; I asked for an outline of their eulogy for me so I can edit it. I’ll give you the gift of mine.

As I’m sure you know, you have the respect of everyone here including myself. I’ve come to look forward to the articles you post that provoke thoughts and discussion. I consider it an honor to have come to know you via this forum.

I wish you farewell and following seas.

Well, as has been stated.. damn.

While you may transition to the stage beyond, know that you remain on this side in your influence on everyone’s thoughts, whether they be in remembrance, the law, or life.

I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry. Prayers of comfort for you and your family.

Jim.

My thoughts, prayers, and best wishes are with you sir. Hospice was there to help us with my dad and they truly are amazing people.

Jim, I am sorry to hear this news. God bless you and your family. I treasure your contributions to this forum and our conversations about Churchill and Will Durant. You are well remembered here. Thank you. Bob
