    I had only good dealings with Jim, and recommended Jamco to others as a result.

    The car community will miss him.

    Hi Tony,
    I am just floored by the passing of your Dad, he was a great guy, and helped me quite a bit. Jim was always interested in my projects and how things were coming along. I am glad to see that you are planing on keeping Jamco open i think Jim would love that. Godspeed Jim.

    Tony,

    Have Jamco suspension on my '51. Really sad to hear about your Dad. I hope the comments and local customer's support help you and your family to get through this. Anybody that owns a Shoebox knew your Dad's passion for turning out quality products and helping all of US to enjoy our rides.

    Best to you and your family.

    small world - was visiting with my parents about this this morning and Dad thought some of the guys from here were able to visit with your Dad at Hot August Nights in Reno this year. Mom said Jim "was always smiling".

    It is a small world especially traditional Hot Rodders! I am happy to hear at least they got to visit at a place they all loved, Hot August nights! Your mom was right, he lived life to the fullest, and was always smiling. Do you have a hot rod?

    My condolences to you and your family. I remember Jim and I going over some new T shirt designs at Los Banos. I drew them up but the ideas were all Jim's. We had some great times passing ideas back and forth. RIP.
