JimSTer - 2026-06-19

Received this text from Virginia, the wife of the recently departed Jim Neagle:

Hi Greg. We have decided to do a service for Jim after all. It will be at the Unitarian Universalist Society in Coralville on Sunday afternoon July 26 at 2:00. It will be very informal with mostly sharing and refreshments. I hope you can come! Please spread the word among Jim’s friends.

Greg
 
Plans have changed. Work is going to interfere with our plans to attend Jim's memorial service. This bums me out quite a bit. If those that attend could please send our regrets and condolences to Virginia, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Went to JimSTer's memorial today..... Randy, Della, John, Bill, Kevin, Nathan, and Rob were there too.....I didn't recognize Rob Parker at first until he walked over and said "Hi" but it's been a while and I don't recognize myself in the mirror at times :biggrin: ....the memorial was well done....Russ.
 
Nice service for Jimster, yesterday. His favorite Kermit chair was on display but I think that was about the only motorcycle related gear shown.

I passed along a lot of photos of Jim to his wife Virginia. These belong in his family's care for legacy. While searching for those, I came across a few videos from events long ago. Each of these still brought me some hearty laughs. Nothing but good memories! We always shared a lot of laughs. Farewell, good friend.

Thanks for posting Randy. JimSTer and the crew were quite a group together. Rest in peace my friend.
 
Received this text from Virginia, Jim’s wife. Could not attend due to a family commitment.

Hi Greg. I’m sorry you weren’t able to be here for Jim’s memorial. We had a wonderful turnout including a lot of the folks from Jim’s motorcycle days. I do have a link to the recording if you want to send me your email.





I have a couple of regrets from the day. One is that I didn’t take the time to visit more with the motorcycle group. It was so great of them to come. I also wish I had mentioned them during the service. I had it in mind to say something but then didn’t do it. What I wanted to say was: Jim taught me that not all motorcycle riders ride in lawless gangs. Some of them are among the nicest people you would want to spend time with. I’m wondering if you would be willing to put this out on your online site. That would mean a lot to me.

Greg
