In memory of Jim Young

[greggerm 312]

I met Jim at the last flightsim conference held in Connecticut (KBDL) a few years ago.  He was quite friendly and pleasant to talk with, but he also seemed just as no-nonsense in person as he might have been out here - he was genuine. He was also very dedicated to AVSIM, especially after Tom's passing.

My condolences as well to all of his family and friends.

I'm very sorry to read of Jim's passing.  My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.  Life, so fragile and fleeting. 😢

Jim Young was a kind, generous and competent leader in the Flight Simulation universe. I had the wonderful opportunity to having served together alongside him in service to AVSIM and have never seen a more professional dedicated leader at work.

He was the right man at the right place at the right time. Jim Young will be remembered for his competence, his judicial use of authority, and his gracious manners. His loyalty as a faithful friend to me never faltered.

Farewell friend Jim.

Certainly a huge shock to me. I was totally unaware that he was ill. Whilst I pass on my sincere condolences to family and friends, this man and his contribution to AVSIM and its community will be remembered long after most of us have departed this mortal coil. I can only hope that I will meet him there.
