We are saddened by the passing of member for many years, Jim Chastain. A message from Jim’s son, Paul, appears below.
To paraphrase Bilbo Baggins –
“Today is my 92nd birthday. Alas, 92 is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable people.
“I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. But I regret to announce — this is my Final Exit
“I am going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell. Goodbye.”
I have had a full, happy life filled with interesting activities and friendly accomplished people. Thank you for the part you have played in making my life so good. HAVE FUN.
Jim died peacefully at home with his family nearby on his 92nd birthday, March 5, 2018.
A private memorial service will be held in Colorado this June.
