My good friend Cousin Jimmy (James Hadden) died Feb. 8th suddenly of heart failure. I don't know if any of you PA or Conn. guys knew him or not. He was from Conn. moved her several years ago. He was 47 , the one bright light is the day he died it was nice out and he had been out on his bike just before he died. He was a give you the shirt off his back kind of guy and a great friend that will be missed. I see all these RIP posts and makes me think of it. He was one of my riding buddies and the one I talk about from time to time who owned the BB Night Train. He is where it's always sunny and good riding weather now.

He was born on the Royal Air Force Base in Swindon, England.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

It is no consolation but he went quickly I am pretty sure that he would have enjoyed his run. Nothing worse than the thought of a fellow biker suffering and knowing he would be wishing for just one more run before having to leave.
Peace & Respect Ian to you and all yer Kin.

Geez, that's 10 years younger than me...I don't know whether to panic or just offer my condolences...
Seriously, it's hard to lose a friend. Keep those good time memories on top and remember him that way. And, take care of yourself.

His family has a history of heart disease so don't be worried Ed. His father has had either 3 or 4 heart attacks just the luck of the draw that Jimmy had a really bad one.

Thank you all for you well wishes as well as any future ones.
