| Fri 02/08/2008 06:58:35 jim Allen Harman has left the building! (6/11/58 - 02/ | |||||||||||||||||||
An old high school buddy passed away last Thursday. We lived near each other in Burna, Kenucky. Allen lived with me in Colorado Springs. We kept in touch throughout the years. We shared many of the same friends (and girlfriends, but not in a kinky way). He was a really cool guy who never quite got past the wild partying teenager stage. Allen finally realized his dream He wanted to be a Montana mountain man. He lived in a log cabin on a mountainside for a while. He loved the Colorado mountains, and he finally got to live the dream. He died in Iowa and went out in flames, just like he had always wanted. His death made the headlines. I don't know exactly what happened, but I do know he was set up to be a target of a swat team. He didn't have a criminal record, but he liked weapons. He tried to contact me. I missed it. Have a good one Allen. You can have your own mountain now. A lot of people out here miss you. Your buddy for 36 years - Jim | |||||||||||||||||||
| Tue 11/27/2007 05:05:16 jim Tears in the night - I miss Squirt | |||||||||||||||||||
 I am looking at his doggie bed. I knew if he got out, he'd run up to Mtn Vista and get killed. I said that more than a couple of times. That's what he did. I miss him. He is alive in my mind. and he is jumping all around me right now. If I throw a ball Squirt, would you come back to fetch it just one last time? Squirt was enjoyed by many people Mike adopted the name of SAE (Squirts Alter Ego). Mike gave Squirt a voice. Squirt was a cool dog and a good friend.  | |||||||||||||||||||

 What a wonderful friend !He got out of his running cage, out of the backyard, and as is so predictable of him, he ran up to Mountain Vista. Rico, my neighbor, did a search and found him. He called animal control to scoop him up. He went out in a blaze of glory. He got to see beyond the boundaries of his universe. He sailed into the horizon and fell off the edge of the Earth, so to speak. He made it to Mountain Vista ! We had a toast to him today. We celebrated his life. Its great he lived enough to be loved. I'll miss playing fetch with him, and playing rag drag. I'll miss his getting jealous whenever I'd hug Becky. In our short time here, it was great to have him as our guest. It was great to have known his personality. We loved him. He was one of my best friends. | |||||||||||||||||||

 Becky and I want to express our deepest sympathies to you Resee. Becky's mom is still loving us. We talk to her almost daily. My Mom, on the other hand, passed away December 12, 1994. Not a single day goes by that I don't remember all the love she shared with me. There will never be anyone else like my mom. As long as I keep her in my heart, she will never die. I'd like to think I was her greatest accomplishment. We have their smiles. We share their memories. And if our life is equal to the sum of our memories, then we can make them live on, just by remembering how beautiful they would be, if they were here, with us. Love Jim and Becky | |||||||||||||||||||
| Fri 06/01/2007 17:50:36 jim Skip Leblanc has left the building (3/24/44 - 6/1/ | |||||||||||||||||||
David Leblanc, Jr (Skip) was my step brother.
He spent most of his life hustling pool, golf, and bowling, and tending bar. I worked with him when he managed the construction of Calvert City Golf Range and Putt Putt. Many people didn't approve of his lifestyle. I admired it. He was truly a free individual who lived life on his own terms. Skip was married twice and had one son, who died shortly after birth. He knew a lot of celebrities. Skip was probably one of the best pool players alive. He played Minnesota Fats, and toured several countries playing professional pool. I learned a lot from him, and I owe him a lot. In 1972, he gave me his old clothes, and I started to get girlfriends. He also gave me pointers on driving a car. Skip lived most of his life in San Fransisco (where he tended bar). He followed Mom, Terry, Dave, Allen,and Kelly from Paducah,Ky to Colorado Springs, Co, and Las Vegas, Nv. He lived with me for one year. If I hadn't gotten a contract in Louisville Kentucky, he'd be alive today. The last time I talked to him, he said "Jimmy...I want to come home". He jumped a week later. I miss you Skip. Sorry I let you down.         | |||||||||||||||||||
| Sun 02/18/2007 12:19:37 jim Ode to the dying | |||||||||||||||||||
 Smile for me before you say goodbye. We were together for eleven years. We toured the land in a travel trailer. We shared memories no else will ever know. We saw the glistening waters of Lake Tahoe, and the frosty shores of Crater Lake. We collected agates off the big sur, saw seal cave and camped in San Diego. We explored California, Nevada, Utah and Oregon for almost four months. We bought a house in Summerlin with a heated pool and spa, and it had a spectular view Las Vegas. We knew Rob, Chris, Mom, Otis, John, Tex, Jim. We raised Little Girl, Little Man, Muffin and two chicks that fell from a tree. You were my soul mate, and now its your time to go. I'll always love you. As the sun light fades to darkness, know I'll be waiting with a smile on the other side. And I will always remember you well, Ruth (Cutlar), my Mississippi Queen. I'm sorry you have to go. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Tue 09/05/2006 20:14:54 Jim Louis Cutlar (Dad) passed away (7/17/23 - 9/3/06) | |||||||||||||||||||
Dad, as excentric and mystically oriented as he was, was a very good man. I'll love him till the day I die. We talked only two days ago. I believe he knew his time was coming. His main concern was that his kids were going to be alright.           Note: These pictures were taken with a Polaroid Swinger (remember those?). I had a million other pictures, but somehow they've seemed to have evaporated. Growing up with Dad was fun, and very interesting. He liked the "Far Side" of things, which, by the way, is my favorite comic strip. Memories of going to the lake, living in a three room house with its outhouse in the back, taking a bath in a #10 washtub, and riding around in that Volkswagon hit the top of my memories. Dad was a hard worker. I believe most of his work still stands today. He once put me on his shoulders at Barkley Airport so that I could see, believe it or not, John F Kennedy. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Wed 12/29/2004 10:15:21 jim Jerry Orbach died from prostate cancer | |||||||||||||||||||
 For anyone who watches Law & Order (like I do), he played Lenny Brisko. He was my favorite character on that show. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Wed 12/15/2004 19:03:26 jim Tim Allred died | |||||||||||||||||||
Tim Allred -12/14/2004. Tim was a good man. I had known Timmy for a period of over 18 years. We talked a couple of months ago, talked about Rob, suicide, his troubles. He felt his life was going downhill. Losing his driver's license, losing his marriage, maybe thats what drove him to his end. Dreamers and lovers feel a different kind of pain. Tim spoke with wit and humor. I never heard him say anything bad about anyone, or hurt anyone. He could meet a person at their level of conversation and stay with it. | |||||||||||||||||||

December 30, 2003 Rob was my best friend for 17 years. Please view: My Memorial to Rob, and my thoughts about this very special friend. And please feel free to Email me. STRANGE THOUGHTS: Why do they call it a "WAKE"? Why is it called a Funeral "Home"? Why do they either cremate us or preserve us? Man, when I die, I want the whole world to just eat me. lol. Be nice everyone. We'll all shine on if we just get along. | |||||||||||||||||||
