Jim Long

[Carl Olsen]

The antique motorcycle world lost a great asset last Sunday with the passing of Jim Long, I apprenticed under him for my first judging experience years ago in Davenport and have been a friend for years. Although we were competitors in the same field, we shared knowledge and each grew from each other's sharing of our passion for these great machines. I will miss him, but never forget his positive influence on my life. Rest in peace my friend.

Sad to hear Carl.
I have talked with Jim for many years as well at Davenport and Fremont.
My condolences to his family.

He was young. What was the cause?

Dear Carl, I'm really sorry to hear that. I've judged with Jim numerous times; been entertained at his house before the Davenport Meet; rummaged through his shelves scavenging parts; and seen him and chatted at Oley several times. He was a knowledgeable guy, and happy to pass on that knowledge to others. Is there an address for condolence letters?

Wow, Jim was a sweetheart. I am so sorry to hear that.
MAY THE LORD'S PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON HIM NOW AND FOREVER
AMEN
