Grastens 2795 Posted November 26, 2021 Good idea. I wonder if a moderator would be able to pin this thread, even temporarily? Edit: thank you, moderators! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
53HRA 555 Posted November 27, 2021 I never had any dealings with Shodog directly, but ever since I joined TC his work has been inspiring. His username was the type you would always remember for great work, and it always appeared like he played a big part on TC and in the hobby. A very sad loss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d4dawg 35 Posted December 4, 2021 Oh no. I can't believe this! Sad sad news. Shodog had a vast of RC knowledge. I've always learned something from his posts. He will be missed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmcnz 754 Posted December 4, 2021 This is very sad news, gone but never forgotten @Shodog, may you rest in peace and may your loved ones quickly find peace. Whilst this is a terrible loss I'm so glad I didn't read it was Covid, rather it sounds as if he was doing something he loved. 🙏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RC4x4 123 Posted December 6, 2021 Wow! I just saw this. I always loved seeing his post of pictures and if I remember I talked to him on the phone years ago. Very sad. Prayers for the family. Cory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simensays 321 Posted December 8, 2021 What?!!! This is truly sad news. My deepest thoughts go out to his family . Jim is one of the OGs here on TC, and for more than 20 years an inspiration to me, and many others. RIP my friend, you will be greatly missed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggular 4914 Posted December 10, 2021 I thought about his passing for few weeks now... It is shocking and got me sad. But just today, I thought, 'what if I was the one who died?' My life depressing other people would be the last thing I'd want. I'd want you to live more vibrant and more fulfilling lives. Wouldn't Shodog say, "RC on!?" That's his legacy to the world. So next time when you are drinking, raise a glass for Shodog. We'll RC on, we'll miss you! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njmlondon 570 Posted January 11, 2022 I have been off TC for a long time but re-engaging with the hobby and have just seen this. So sad. I never met Jim, but was, like many, completely inspired by his work and benefitted from his knowledge on many occasions. A true gent. I just had a look through my first ever posts on TC, back in 2002, and low and behold, Shodog commented on all of them and helped me learn so much.

urban warrior 358 Posted February 14, 2022 I've also been away from this forum for a long time, and came along only on rare occasions in the recent past. So I learned about Jim's fate only by chance via YouTube. Beeing a motocyclist myself I find it very sad when I read about other bikers having accidents. Here in our "neighbourhood" it is not uncommon, and always tragic. And with Jim it's twice the pain. Losing an able modeler and someone who even shared the experience on motorcycles. I did not know him personally, since I live on the other side of the Atlantic, but I often read through his threads and it was always fun to see his builds. Now a legend has gone.
