Jim Dugan 12/19/44 - 12/23/14

Hello and good evening die cast enthusiasts,

I wanted to share with you this evening the passing of my Uncle Jimmy. On 12/23/14 Uncle Jimmy passed peacefully at his home in Southern California surrounded by his loving family in the care of Hospice. All seemed to be going very well with treatment and the doctor's outlook was very positive. However, a sudden turn of events with his health in the beginning of December thought differently.

I wanted to post this message because I know he would want all of you to know that he will miss you and will continue to share the passion from the heavens above.

Do not worry about the future nor the past, all we have is today. Live life for today and always do the next right thing

Thank you for taking time to read this.

God Bless
John

One additional note. The people with Hospice are truly Gods children. These folks where the most caring, passionate, and loving people I have ever met!!!!! Thank You Hospice.

Oh my. I am so very sorry to hear this. While I never met Jim in person, we chatted several times...

about our models. I will truly miss him. A great guy.
And yes the people from Hospice are remarkable, when my Dad was very ill and passed they were amazing in their compassion and care.
