A member from days gone by has passed away. Jim Rogers. I'm sure many of you old timers knew him

Near a fixture at the Iowa GTG.

Thanks for the pics Mark!

I have missed seeing Jim the last couple GTG. It's not surprising to hear this news of him passing but it still sucks..

In the original pic one can see where Jim’s Stihl peed bar oil down his leg and into his boot.

Jim was taller than Workshop and I but not near as tall as Chet or Kenneth.

I have fond memories of He and I tinkering on a saw.

Jim was not one to give up easily.

Jim had an Echo tophandle he used for limping and it started giving him trouble. I was overhauling a handful of the same model so I loaned him one.

Turned out his was shot and he wanted to pay me for the loaner.

Nothing doing I told him let’s just make it a 99 year lease like the Panama Canal. [emoji108]

People would show up at Jim’s place looking for obsolete Stihl parts.

Turns out the local Stihl dealer, Jack Horners Supply, would send them down to Halls if they didn’t have the part.

Jim was a great person to everyone. He got me a tank and a cylinder I believe for my PM800. Among a couple hard to find bars. He will be missed greatly. He acted like he never met a stranger to Greg and I. Greg on left and myself on the right.

One day at a GTG he saw me struggling to start my vintage Mac 610. He said, "Looks like the cord is about 6" too long. That's why it won't retract as it should." He was dead on correct.

RIP Jim. I will never forget you.

Very sorry to hear of his passing, my condolences to his family.

I loved to visit with Jim and hear his stories. A lot of experience and knowledge in that ole fella.
I'll always remember him bringing his own coffee and coffee maker to the GTG's....wanted to be sure he had fuel!

 

[cbfarmall]

I met him at least once in Iowa. Nice and interesting guy.

 

[heimannm]

See if you can find Jim.
