Last night we lost another great, great member of this forum....Jim Miller.
I met Jim at Indy Super Chevy in 1985. Both of us had 63 409s. His was a red/red 425HP SS. We met when Jim wandered thru my swap space. Same year I met Denny Ford and Bob Walla.
Jim was a delight to have for a friend...always positive and a new joke!!!! Jim had been cursed his adult life with illness.....but he was the most positive person I have ever met. He always said "I don't complain because I know somebody is worse off than me"!!!!
Jim lived in Doug Marion's hometown so they were friends. Jim joined the 348-409 club July 2003....about the same time I did.
Most of the new members here in the last 5 years would not know Jim, but Jim helped me out with both conventions. In KC, he sat and baby sitted Hayden for me!!!! Sat with Hayden and helping him with the pictures he brought up. Jim would keep Hayden supplied while Hayden was autographing the pictures. Those of you who came to Great Bend, Jim and wife Sharon were in the hospitality tent and sat at the head table with us.
Jim was passionate about his 63 409!!!!!! He was totally eaten up about them like we all are!!! Denny sent me a picture that Doug Marion took at 89 Indy Super Chevy. Jim is on the left. Did we really look that young?????
RIP DEAR FRIEND!!!!!
