Jim will be missed! As others have said, the Typhoon Motorhome/pit area will never be the same. I'm glad I got to know him over the years. Talked with him in Jupiter-he was laughing (and a bit upset too) that he backed into a curb and bent the scooter rack.
Randy, please keep us advised when/where the arrangements will be.
RIP Jim....
