RIP Jim

[Young Ed]

I know no one else on here knew my neighbor and fellow old car guy but I found out over the weekend he passed on last wed. We knew he'd been sick with cancer and he had decided to sell us his 66 wagon when he found out.

Ed,

My Lady Wife Lynn had her innards hollowed-out then was kissed by an angel and has been cancer-free for over two years, and my brother's cancer has gone into remission too but cancer is too scary. It doesn't leave footprints or make any noise and it won't usually let you know it's even there until it is firmly ensconced in what's left of your life. It's a sneaky bastard of a disease that cowers until it thinks it has the upper hand.

Jim and his family will be remembered in our prayers tonight.

-Lynn & Randy St. John

May your car buddy rest in peace with our lord up above.

A dear friend of mine was given no longer than a year to live, about a year ago. He remains upbeat and has retained his humor through all he has been through. You have reminded me that I need to visit this man more often.

Thanks for posting. Sorry about your friend.

Thanks guys. I'm very glad Jim chose us to be the next guardian of his beloved wagon. We planned to pick him up for some car shows this summer but obviously its too late for that. The neighborhood and the N st Paul car show won't be the same.

Sorry to hear about your friend, Ed! My father also passed from cancer 22 years ago.

Rest in peace Jim. I know you'll be among many old car guys up there...I miss a few myself. Just another reminder to live every day to the fullest and be as happy as possible with the blessings we all have. Someday we won't wake up.

My sympathies for his family and yours for a friend. Only thig I can say is if the weather is good this weekend, take everyone out in the wagon and remember him in the best way: remembering all the good days with his baby.

Saturday Dad Carmon and I attended Jims memorial. It was very nice. You know you were a good mechanic when your loyal customers attend your memorial and get up and share stories about you. We drove the wagon and a 1/2 dozen guys came out to see it when we left.

...but how wonderful that he had a neighbor like you that loved old Plymouths. I'm sure he's looking down with satisfaction on at least that one piece of his life and it's new Steward.
