Dear Friends,

I learn from another board which we shared that Jim has passed away.

He fell ill last Thursday and died today.

Love
Alan

I am deeply shocked. Jim has been a friend and mentor since 2005 - probably the most talented bard I know. A gentleman and a scholar who taught by example.

You shall be sorely missed my friend. You knew all the time what the next room holds yet patience, love and consideration made you linger. My prayers are with you where you travel now.

Unbound at last,
may you soar,
Jim Callaghan,
soar.

Oh, what a shame; such sad news! Jim taught me many good tips about meter and was a friend I'll miss! :(

My heart is with him!

What sad news... Jim was an excellent poet and always ready to help.
He will be missed, indeed.
May he R.I.P.

Love, Syl***

This has been such a shock!

I am so very sad to hear this news. Jim was a very gifted poet and always ready to help. I learned a lot from him over the years. He left me a crit the other day before he became ill. My thoughts are now with his family. He is greatly missed.

Farewell Jim,

You have always been honest in your assessment and critique; trying to improve and help polish other's work. I thank you and will miss you, although I never knew you except through your posts. I'm glad you enjoyed my last sonnet and left such a wonderfully supportive note confirming both my intent and subject matter.
Your presence will be missed here in this place and may the afterlife treat you as gently as you have treated others in this one.

Larry
