I suspect Jim touched many lives, and ours are just a few of those.

As I watched the service for President Bush on Wednesday I wondered what his thoughts would be.

Rest in peace Sir.

When I look for Jim's post in certain threads and they are blatantly absent, then I know my friend is gone.

It seems with every significant news story I think to myself, I wonder what Jim would have to say about this? I miss his insights.

When something newsworthy happened, I always looked forward to seeing what he had to say about it. I have to say Sig Forum is missing a part of what makes it so good.

perhaps unrelated, yet here's a Tuba Story:

couple short news stories here on
the now-current massing of Tubas in pursuit of 'Largest Tuba Ensemble'....something going toward 1000 currently.....

Instead of weird, I think I would say "Feels diminished not seeing his posts! "

There are damned few thoughtful men. It is doubly sad to lose one

I use the "Find"button to re-read JALLEN's posts. I read them slowly as I know there will be no more. Very smart man,RIP Mr Jim.

Been away from the forum and noted J Allen was referred to in the past tense in another thread.
Performed a search and found this.

His salient postings will be missed.
May he RIP

I'm sorry to hear of his passing. He was a big contributor here and I enjoyed many of his posts.

I've been gone for a few months from the forum and just saw this thread. My condolences to his family and I just wanted to say that I will miss his wisdom and his posts.
