I was so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. We used to talk for hours on the phone. I will never forget about one of the conversation about him telling me about his spitting fish. He was a wonderful person. He was one of the people that made the C.A.R.S club fun. He will be missed. My prayers go out to the family. May God Bless you though these times.

Sending our love and prayers to the Monsees family. Mr. Jimmy was an extraordinary gentleman and so full of knowledge of his home town and ancestry. He always seemed to have a sense of passion when he spoke. He will be missed. Rest in Peace.

We are so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. I met in the sixties on the CB radio. He was better know back then as "Mudskipper"on the radio. We became great friends. After our CB phase we moved on to amateur radio, where Jimmy(KB4RMN),excelled. He taught radio classes and worked on tech committees and served as officer with the Coastal Amateur Radio Club. He was a mentor to many. Jimmy helped many prospective hams to get their radio license. I'll miss my ole friend. 73s' Jimmy until we meet again on those wave links in the sky. Spence KK4TO
