Sad News :-(

I remember Jim well from the Yum Yum Man cruise. What a great Gentle-man he was.

R.I.P. JIm.

I am so sorry to hear this news, Jim was a wealth of information and those slippers cracked me up. RIP Jim.....

I was away cruising and missed this thread. Thanks for posting Gerry.

Sending our condolences to Diane and family. Jim may you continue to make those in Heaven Laugh and keep wearing those slippers.

We were fortunate enough to sail with Jim and Ruth for two fun weeks with the Yum Yum Man Cruises.

This is from February 14, 2009 Yum Yum Man II cruise

Just seeing that photograph makes me smile - it was such a happy time for both of them. May they rest in peace together.

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

:p Love the picture, Lisa. Thanks for sharing it.

Virgil and I were fortunate to have sailed with Jim and Ruth many times. I sure hope they are all up there in heavens version of the Crows Nest raising a glass to those of us who will miss them. Wearing silly slippers. I still have the pairs they gave us over the years. I believe I still have yellow duckies and penguins.

Rest in peace Jim. Condolences to those who will love and miss him.

I'm very sad to hear of Jim's death. I remember all his travel threads and how he brought so many pairs of slippers on board to give away.

May he rest in peace.

I, too, remember Jim's posts and photos...especially of all their slippers! I particularly remember a photo he posted of ALL the cruise luggage lined up on the curb. Haven't seen him here for a very long time. RIP, Jim.

He had an amazing talent for finding the humor in any situation. We were all blessed that he shared it. May he rest in peace. My sympathy to his wife, Diane, and to his extended family.
