This is so hard because as was mentioned lots of us didn't know about his illness. Even though he could stir up my feelings I will miss him.
See you sometime later JR. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
We all want a peaceful world, filled with love and laughter, but we fill ourselves with anger and hate trying to fiqure out how to achive it.

In memory of JR
I find this a bit hard to write as I had a certain kinship with Mr Palmer. I can't say exactly what it is but I always felt we shared more than being
born on the same day of the same year.
My chest is in my throat as I try to figure this out. I can just imagine how intense and how full his life must have been.
After reading scores of JRs' posts and also some personal notes, I am convinced that JRs' life has touched many in a positive way. JRs and his
experience and love for a place we call our favorite will be passed along. His message was crystal clear to me.
He knew us in a way others can't. He loved us in a way others couldn't. He remanded us when necessary.
He gave in a way we know not how.
Your legacy will be carried forward and onward by us.
Rest in Peace brother, your mission is complete.

God speed JR. I did not know him personally other than from the Nomad board. He sure could stir the pot and get everyones opinion started on whatever
he'd said. If there's one thing he did, it was to get you thinking and responding. He will be missed.

It is hard to write when you have just had the wind knocked out of you.
I only knew JR through his posts here on this board. I wish I had been able to meet him in person.
He was obviously the kind of person that only a few would agree with him on everything, although I probably agreed with him more than I disagreed, his
passion for life in Baja was obvious and contagious.
I will very much miss his insight and knowledge.

I never knew JR. other than reading what he said on this board and others for the last three years or so. JR seemed like a real sincire person and
lived like he believed. I will miss him. Rest in peace JR.

I had wanted to meet the colorful JR (and regret that this is no longer possible). He was a true Baja nomad - and he obviously had a lot of courage to
act and speak on issues he believed in. His legacy will hpefully live through his innovative bamboo projects. I'll remember you in prayer amigo;
hugs to his family.

Rest in peace my friend.....JR was truly in a class by himself. I did'nt agree with some of his interesting banter but if someone needed his help he
would do what he could. He was able to help me on a few occasions and I offered to pay him for his time but he refused. I for one will miss his posts.
He was an asset to the people of Baja. I wish there were more like him.......

JR my friend I salute you
Like others of his friends I was aware of some of the problems that JR faced over the past year or more.
Hell! I was called a hypocrite by more that one member of this board when I disagreed, in a very forcible manner, with his attacks on some of the
members of this board. I visited him a few weeks before I posted this disagreement even knowing that he was very sick. Yes, he and I shared a lot!
I must tell you that the absolutely the worst thing that you could wish for this Baja warrior is that he rest in peace.
Hell No! He could never deal with that. Lashing out right and left was his style and what made him a darling of this board.
JR know that you have not lost this old guys friendship and keep pulling the devils tail.
I missed you even before your were gone.
My smidgen of a claim to fame is that I have had so many really good friends. By Bernie Swaim December 2007

I for one will miss the pot being stirred and his sincere affection for Baja, but moreso his desire and actions for helping the people in the
out-of-the-way places that he seemed to realy enjoy. It's our loss. RIP JR, Phil

Does this mean no more Hot Dogs

Perhaps the new guys will deliver.

Rest in Peace, Baja Amigo...
JR,
Knew him not
liked him a lot
when he talked
his beloved Baja.
He could ruffle feathers
and detract his peers
but his heart was true
to the people he knew.
The hour glass of life
has only so many grains.
Some less than others
it seems such a shame.
You've touched so many,
from far and near,
it's time for a rest
may it be in eternal peace.
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

A really sweet guy, who was not at all like his posts. Dang, I had looked forward to seeing him again.
My sympathy to you, Carol.

I only met JR for a few minutes, but the loss of a Nomad is always a shock. Give 'em hell, JR.
