Touching write-up for a guy who well deserved it. We often never realize the giants among us until they're gone.

That was a wonderful tribute to a great person. That's the first time that I ever read anything on the front page.

Thanks for posting that Brant, I thought I knew Jim from Armchair General.  I was really looking forward to his write up on some projects going - mainly because his feedback was concise but also detailed.

I know a lot of guys who knew Jim in real life, although unfortunately I never had that opportunity. 

It is a big loss for wargaming; although I am sure it is far bigger for their families.
