I would take a little shot at him with a private msg and say, wow Corona you poured it on rich and really wow’ed that guy with his new truck. You made him feel like he belongs. He would respond back well it must be my Canadian charm! The just really loved North America and like I said he had that type of personality that who couldn’t get along with him. He would greet all new members on the site, sometimes busy balls, but always the gentleman and treated them right. I will raise a toast!

@Shaggy can you go in and look for Coronas truck and put his on the FRF banner for the site at least for a little time in memorial? He’d love it. He’s deserving of it for all he’s done on the site.

in the 10 years i have been here i have never changed anything in my profile. never had the need or want. ...... until recently. he gave me the nickname of "the grumpy car stereo guy" he was a clown for sure, and a loveable one.

Good looking couple. God bless.

I will be lofting a pint in memory of @CoronaRaptor tonight and further, will shoehorn in a Mexican style lager into the brew schedule for the guy that was on FRF, always willing to pitch in and try to help someone whether it was silly question or complicated one off issue or anywhere in between.

Reading this makes me feel the loss, but we all have to admit we sure did share some pretty fun discussions with him. So I am profoundly saddened at this unexpected loss, I feel privileged to have known him here on FRF.

Wow, that really sucks. I always enjoyed him on here. R.I.P.

Seconded, please

I think I'm going to have to detail my engine bay now

Have a Corona for Corona Raptor! Ride the dunes in heaven.

i have spent the last hour on the phone with james (oldest son) of jim and he filled me in on what happened. due to the nature and circumstances i will not be posting the details of jims passing. lets just remember him for who he is and what he has done for the community. in a lighter part of our conversation, i invited both james and chase to camp with us in nevada in october. both sons wanted to take a trip down the pacific coast to remember their father, as this was an annual trip they did with him, so what better way to remember him by making that trip, but also do a little raptor stuff as well. they also plan to spread his ashes along the way. i am setting up a go fund me page for the family. i will post details shortly. unfortunately canada is a little different than the states, and trying to secure finances for all the things they need to do, is a bit overwhelming for them, so lets see what we can do to help them out.
