Sadly, we have lost yet another family member.

On March 11, Jeff Huitt posted this Bulletin on MySpace. I confirmed with him that he was speaking of his brother Jim.

"My brother died today
--------------
He was diagnosed with cancer many years ago.
They gave him an amount of time and he extended it. He did very well and it was almost gone. Then it came back stronger and took everything away.
He was full of life and almost always smiling even when it hurt.
I take for granted that I am healthy. I can take care of myself and my most basic needs. In the end he could not. His loving wife and my other older brother took care of him in his home. He was loved by friends and family in a comfortable surrounding til the end.
He was my big brother and now he is gone "

I first met Jim when he managed Leather Roses for Debi Cable at Black Point. (That was the year we were nearly the very first booth in past the front gate. ) He was a real sweetheart, and I will miss him greatly. (I know he later worked for Oudeman (sp?) Glass. I'm not positive who else he worked for, though. )

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
