I knew Jimmy in Dayton Ohio in the 80's. There was a great bar downtown that we could always find him at dancing to the music. My favorite memory is of him taking a safety pin out of his leather jacket and piercing my nose in the dingy dirty bathroom of Alexanders. I have fond memories of him and when I hear certain songs on the radio, he comes to my mind. I am glad I was able to know him for a brief moment of history I came across this tribute tonight.

I'm still battling lingering crazy left from my father's and grandmother's estates and they're almost three years gone. One day I'm going to count the death notices we have put up here on HumidCity, I just have not been able to steel my nerves for it. We have all lost so many people over these recent years.

There is, in real life, no Riding Off Into The Sunset, so much as there is a barn to clean. My thoughts turn to Michelle, Jimmy's wife (widow) and the horrible tasks that await her, just to get through this experience. As if waking up to your lover's death is not enough. As the days continue to pass, I will post here all manner of infromation regarding Jimmy's Memorial (I'm sure there'll be one) and any furhter gatherings. I urge each and everyone who knew or appreciated the Life Of Jimmy May to turn your attentions to Michelle, who now holds the bag for both of them. Besides the shakey financial situation that many freelance artists and original thinkers find themselves in, there are now funeral costs, lingering medical bills, etc to deal with. I hope to see a fundraiser in the works very soon. I will post all future information on this thread. In closing, offerings of the heart are huge. While we all (especially me) find tears a' plenty for our fallen friend, please remember the living person that he chose as his life long mate, who now lives with that daily reminder that we, the mourning, can escape by focusing on our day to day lives. This IS her day to day life. I am here for you, Michelle. And I'm quite sure, no...make that absolutely sure, that I am not alone. all my love; LD As the loss of a dear friend and madcap catalyst of New Olreans Life grinds into my psyche, I am dealing with the grim process of helping my siblings sort through the estate left by the recent, senseless death of my father, and my mom’s slow trip down that same slope.
