Just got done viewing the images of Jim and his friends. He was loved by many and will be sorely missed. I did not know Jim well, but always looked forward to catching up with him at the track. Drag racing is full of many wonderful and colorful people, but no one will ever match "Happy". I had never seen him in a bad or down mood. The memory of him hanging off of his golf cart and driving by, will be burnt in my memory forever. The social and recreational circle known as Drag racing was clearly a much better place with Jim in it. The wonderful memories and stories of Jim will be fondly and affectionately shared for year's to come. He helped many great racers get started in this sport. Additionally, he helped many great racers become even better racers.

My condolences go out to Tracey and the rest of Jim's family. To see the way fellow racers and friends take care of one another (in these times of need) is nothing shy of amazing. The outporing of condolences and heart felt prayers will help everyone with the healing process.

As it has been said before, the Shoe will never be forgotten!

Goodspeed and RIP...
