Post# of 82672
Gold49ers real name was James Scott WILKINSON he was born on February 29, 1952 and passed away on December 17, 2019 67 years old.
RDY2RCK was the first to suspect something was up ,he was in touch with and new Gold49ers real name "Jim Wilkinson) didn't know middle initial. and when Jim didn't return PMs RDY2RCK was concerned. Gold49ers last post was on Dec 9th 2019, he died Dec 17th.
RDY2RCK did some research and found an obituary for a James S Wilkinson and he wanted to confirm if it was the same "Jim WIlkinson" our Gold49er before posting anything out of respect for the family.
About a half an hour ago, I was able to confirmed that James S Wilkinson is indeed our Jim/Gold49er today by talking to the funeral director of Wylie-Baxley Funeral Home, Merritt Island, FL, 321-452-6565
Have to admit I got all choked up and gave way to a few tears, still have a tight chest of emotions swirling inside as I write. Gold49er was a dear friend through PMs we got close.
All SFOR longs have all been through disappointing times as as SFOR investors , Jim while keeping it real, kept it positive. He was respected on this board, generous, insightful and blessed with a great sense of humor which came through in his video clips.
RDY2RCK was close to him as well as, we all PMd each other. Jim was a brilliant man, an electrical engineer for the space industry. He invited RDY2RCK and myself to a tour of Cape Canaveral and fishing. I am sure others on the board developed a friendship as well Speak up and share a story.
He loved rock and roll and would incorporate rock into some of the creative SFOR inspired videos he posted for our entertainment. Go to his history he was a one of a kind SFOR investor/poster. He gave us many smiles.
Jim / Gold49er , will be truly missed, I / we would have loved to complete this investment journey all together, seeing Jim at a shareholders meeting enjoying our successful ending to our investment, sharing a win together in our lives.
Knowing Jim even on a limited basis was a win for all of us!
