underpressure, RIP
 
I have just received the sad news that underpressure has passed away after a long illness.

Underpressure, whose real name was James Holmes, was a good friend both on and off of the internet. He had a great sense of humor and I remember that when the other James Holmes became internationally infamous, Jim wrote to me saying that had he posted under his real name, the folks on Omni would accuse him of being the shooter.

Jim, with over 35,000 FT posts, was a stalwart of FT and especially the Delta Forum. Those of us who knew him personally, and there were quite a few, will miss him greatly.

Sad news. Jim & his wife generously hosted FTers in their home on several occasions. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I'm so sorry to hear this as I really only know him from omni and more specifically the college football annual threads as we've had our fun going back-and-forth over college football teams and conferences

I'm really sad to hear this and may James rest in peace

My condolences to his friends and family

I'm really sorry to learn this. I've known him by his handle for years. We've lost a member of the family.

Very sad news.

I'll miss him in both good and bad Omni a lot. :(

I knew underpressure; and I am stunned and saddened at the news.

In fact, the last time I saw him was with Dovster...

I had noticed a decrease in his posts and wondered what had happened to him. Condolences to the family.

May you join another Ft forum, hoping you didn't suffer much and went in peace. Enjoy your resting place, while keeping an eye on us.
