My heart is heavy and my eyes are wet.
Having met and brewed with him I can attest to all the the other posts about what a great husband, father, grandfather and friend he was.
May peace be with him and his family.

Aw, Jim. No words can make it better. But I pray that you will go in peace, and that your family will experience comfort beyond their understanding.

This is very sad news. Jim and I did an RCE together and he was a great guy to correspond and brew with.

Jim J was a good man. We joined about the same time and spent quite a bit of time in the early days of the taproom talking beer and brewing techniques. I just heard of his passing on Facebook. I will toast my latest home brew in his honor today. My thoughts are with the Johnson family today.

I raise my glass to JJ, a gentle giant if there ever was one. Safe travels my friend.

It was an HONOR to have met Jim and his wife at our first BORG meet up in Nashville in 2015. He seemed like such a fun loving guy, full of spirit and ideas. I was lucky enough to have tasted his beer and his common and wheat I took home with me were enjoyed by my wife as well.

RIP, Jim. You are now in the GREAT BREWERY IN THE SKY.

God Bless, Peaceful sailing my Borg Friend!
