Life is Good: Bestlever has passed away.

Post by sore shoulder »

I know Jim was active here sometimes so some here might know him. He passed away this morning. He was a good friend to me even though I never met him in person. I first met him here when the old Marlin Talk was locked. That was at least 6 years ago I'm thinking. The world has lost a good man and we are poorer for it.

Goodbye rifleman. He'll be missed. Condolences.

He was a good fellow. Really loved life.

I'll miss the photos from his drift-boat and the river.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Sorry to hear that. My condolences to his family and friends. We have had two deaths in close friends families. One last Wednesday and one last night. We were together last evening when the news came down. :(

This is very sad news to me. Jim was a great guy and a good friend to everyone he met. He would take you fishing is his drift boast at the drop of a hat had have a great time doing it. I met Jim at his home and called him friend, more to the point he called me friend.

As Jim would say, "Good Morning Riflemen, Life is GOOD!"

May he go shooting with John Moses Browning!

Good bye old Friend!
