Jim Murphy aka Lee H Mann Has Passed
Jim Murphy's wife, Chris called me a couple of days ago to tell me that Jim had passed. I honestly haven't had the strength or words to post it here until now because it really hit me hard.
Though we never had the opportunity to meet in person, Jim and I have been good friends for many years and talked regularly by phone and texted and messaged one another almost every day. If the forum went down, or there was a glitch in a thread, Jim was the first to call or text me to let me know.
Chris told me that Jim loved Trike Talk and I was surprised to learn that per Jim's instructions, I was the only person he insisted she call at his passing. This was because Jim strongly wanted me and all of you to know that this forum and the many friends he has made here, truly meant the world to him. Chris said she could not stress that enough, and that even though he had been very sick for a very long time, he lived for this forum and its members, so much so he barely wanted to do anything else.
Chris said it gave him so much satisfaction to be able to help all who asked for help on their trike. She said it was his life's purpose and absolutely 100% added years to his life. I felt this from talking to Jim over the years, and especially lately, as he called me to let me know the end was near.
So, I am sharing with you all, that Jim said to tell you all that though he is no longer here in the flesh, he is with us in spirit and is thankful that his words, advice and knowledge will live here forever.
