Jim Hershman

[Bob Fabel]

We got a call today from Jim's daughter Gigi. Jim came home from the hospital on Wednesday, they had a large welcome home party for him. Yesterday morning he passed away. There are no arrangements at this time but I will try and let you all know as soon as we find out. I have known Jim for well over four decades and he was a gentle kind man that shared our love for motorcycles. RIP friend...you will be missed.
Love to his family,
Judy Aja

Jims daughter, Gigi, sent me the obituary and asked that I post it for all the club and his friends. There will be a "finger food" pot luck. Anyone that wants to say a few words or a good bench race is welcome to do so. Hope to see all of you Saturday.
