I don't know anything more than what was posted on Facebook.

It is with great sadness that I am posting to my Dad's Facebook page to say that he passed away last Sunday July 19th. Jim Bishop was doing what he loved fishing in Nootka Sound- he had a Salmon in the cooler and one in the net.

Respecting Jim's wishes, there will be no memorial service. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jim's memory may be made to Nootka Sound Watershed Society, Box 293, Gold River, BC V0P 1G0.

He has left a void in many lives and he definitely was one of the good guys.

Oh no no no no,

Jim was way too young and vital. Was it his heart do you know?

That made me physically sick as well. It's hot and humid here and that news really made this almost unbearable.

I had total respect for Jim, as well as you and he does leave a hole in many ways. I'm sorry that you lost a long time friend. This board has always been a high mark to follow.
Why is it always the good people taken away and not these scam scums.

I don't think Jim had more than 5 deletions his whole time on Ihub.
Something else, I always felt adminEdward may have been Jim. IDK.

Jim’s impact on me:

My Ihub profile says that my alias was born in 2003. I’ve been following Jim (and Steve) much longer than that. I remember the RagingBull days very well. I’ve gone through periods of being a free subscriber to a paid subscriber and back again several times over.

When I first started reading and learning about trading I found my way to the messages boards. I learned over time- wow, you can’t always believe what you read on the internet…especially about penny stocks. But I stuck with it, and through time learned that Jim and TGL was one of my most valuable resources of information. It’s always been my favorite by far.

I could write a book on what I learned by reading Jim’s and Steve’s posts, but I’ll try to keep this short. Both of these guys transformed me from a newbie (I’m a computer programmer by trade), to someone who, throughout the years, has personally brought two companies public (via IPO’s), and made life-changing gains in the process. Jim never knew his impact on me. In this short space I can’t describe how Jim’s valuable information has served me through the years. (Same goes to you Steve). Crediting 90% of my knowledge and desire to TGL, I was able to create, from scratch, two public shells, file the S-1’s, sell shares, market the company, and sell both for handsome profits. One of the shells I created is now a company with $15 million in annual sales with a market cap around $30 million. My hope is that the company lives on and on, long after I’m gone too. It’ll be a perpetual legacy, and hit has mine and Jim’s handprints on it.

Although he never knew it, Jim helped change my life; not just financially. He was a big part of helping me follow my dreams through education and honesty. And I know for sure I’m just a small part of his positive impact on the world. RIP Jim.
