Appreciate you making the effort to come on and confirm the tragic loss of your father to his many friends here. Guess I was in denial until I read your post.boudreaux said:Just an update...I learned from another board my dad frequented that this story has made the national news...it is running on CNN and the FOX networks.

They ran the story on the local fox station with our comments and a pic this evening, but they have not posted it to their website as of yet.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. His deep love of all things cycling was apparent from both the quantity and quality of his contributions. He was a great source of knowledge, and always took great pains (and pleasure) in helping us sort fact from opinions. He will be deeply missed by very many of us here.

The same article appears in our local newpaper, The Huntsville Times, today.Insight Driver said:Yes, I saw the news article on the CNN site. I hope you are comforted, knowing that so many of us saw his knowledge and spunky attitude. All us carpet smokers will miss him.
litespeedguy said:Boudreaux ( Jim Price ) was like a family member - I looked forward to getting his insight on tough technical questions here on the Forum - I just can't help still being angry over the way things happened - my condolences to his family.
ps : like many others here on the Forum I suppose, I've often tried to imagine what certain other members look like, their age, and their background. Does anyone know if Jim was a bike mechanic by trade or just an enthusiast with a large knowledge base - or both ???
boudreaux said:Hello, this is Jim's daughter Kimberlee. My dad picked up the hobby of cycling back in 1997 while in Houston. About 5 years ago (about a year after he retired and moved back to Denver) he really got into rebuilding and maintaining bikes. He had a freakish talent for retaining everything he read, especially things he loved. You should see the basement...bikes, parts, magazines and books everywhere. He had 18 completed bikes out in the garage...He was a bit of an obsessive personality, if he was going to do something he did it all the way, and never the easy way. And all this is in addition to his hunting and camping things as well. But cycling was the one thing he could do everyday, be it riding or working on his bikes.

He had a dynamic personality and a vibrant karma,if you will, I could tell.
