Best wishes, Jim.

I haven't been on BBH for a while, but I got an email from Dan and a call from Ed today about Jim and his health. I would say Jim and I were very good friends and this news really disturbed me. I speak with Jim all the time, about once a month, and last time he sounded well and was in good spirits.
I kind of knew something was up when he didn't send me a Passover greeting and when I sent him an Easter greeting it bounced back to me.
Anyway, I just called his home and spoke with his daughter. As said Jim is
terminal and expected to pass away any time now. He is at home but not conscience and it is just a matter of time. He had skin cancer problems but was OK until a couple of weeks ago when it seemed to have spread to his brain and he went downhill very quickly. His daughter said she will notify me when he does pass.

Just unbelievably horrible news. There wasn't a nicer man around and as huge a Giants fan as anyone could ever hope to be.

Jim and his family are in my thoughts.

Get beyond this next challenge Jim.  You have another Giants Super Bowl left to watch.

Very sad news. Jim was a tremendous help when my daughter was seeking schools to study meteorology. Prayers for peace going to our pregame weather forecaster.

Prayers up for Jim and his family.

Very sorry to hear this. Jim is good man and a Giant among Giant fans, as well as one of the pillars of this site. May the Lord be with him and his family.

This is a huge loss to our BBH community! 

A Giant among us is in his final days.

I pray he passes on with no pain, dignity and surrounded by his loved ones!

I know myself and many here are with you in spirit JimV! You are not alone and You won't be forgotten!

Sad indeed Lenn. My thoughts and prayers with him and his family.

Prayers for Jim and his family


"So we are always confident, because we know that while we are living in the body, we are away from our home with the Lord. We live by faith and not by sight. We are confident, and we would prefer to leave the body and to be at home with the Lord."

2 Corinthians 5:6-8

brown,  Heartfelt quote from the Bible.

Thanks much Lenn for your Post about the truest of the true Giants fan Jim V.

My prayers go out to Jim and his family.

So sad to hear, what a tremendous Giants fan. Before BBH, I once mailed Jim a vhs tape of a Giants game he missed 😁  After the 07 win, he was so happy, he wasn't sure if he would see another Giant's superbowl win in his lifetime. Lo and behold,he got another in 11. 
     Go easy Jim,prayers for your family.   

Thank you for the update Lenn. Sorry to hear such devastating news.
We will keep Jim and his family in our prayers.
