When I first arrived in Cyprus and set up the Paphos Life website, it didn't have a forum. I couldn't see the point, as there was already Cyprus Living, which did an admirable job. I had only published a couple of blog articles on the site, and it was still very much in its infancy. Then, over Christmas, Jim announced he was closing Cyprus Living. So I decided to set up this forum, and asked him if it was ok to mention it on his Closing Down announcement thread. He was happy for me to do so, and so this forum was born. It received a huge boost by being able to adopt a significant proportion of the active Cyprus Living forum, which in turn helped to promote the rest of the site. So I will forever be grateful to him for that.
Since then we had the occasional run-in, as I am sure most of you did. Jim was certainly Jim. But when it mattered, he was always very helpful.
I didn't know him as a lot of you will have known him, as I was a newcomer when he closed Cyprus Living, but I am sure you will be saddened to hear the news, and I thought it should be passed on.
I will move this thread to the Absent Friends sub-forum once the dust has settled. But for now, join me in a virtual toast to JimX, the founder of Cyprus Living. May he Rest In Peace.
