Loss of a dear friend

[charveljunkie]

Well I recieved the news-one of my close friends Jim Nunis died of cancer"What a fukking drag"
one of the absolute best guitar luthier's around-Good enough to make Gibson Les Paul re-issue copies
that even fooled the Gibson custom shop guys-But then again thats why he recieved papers from them.
Jim was 43 years old-way to young to pass-problem was he sprayed chemicals for 20 some odd years
without ever wearing a respirator-we use to get on his ass about it but he absolutly refused-plus thinking
it could never happen to me and thinking I will live for ever finally caught up with him. Jim and Kerry Champion
started www.jnunisguitars.com together and then had a falling out-of sorts-go to his website and check out
the pros playing his guitars-designed by me-yeah they look like others but they are very cool guitars-totally
handmade from scratch-I'm glad I held on to my double cut prototype and first production model.
Well Jim Bro have a safe journey -Until we meet again!!!!

thanks for the heart felt responce-just got off the phone with a few friends to figure out Jim's final wishes-3 weeks we will have a memorial for Jim he also wanted his ashes spread on the beach and ocean at Dana Point,Cali-so hopefully I will make the trip to say a final goodbye to my friend

Tony, your friend had some awesome taste! Dana Point is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. I know you'll be there in pain, but try to take it in and think how happy Jim would be knowing you honored his wishe and also got to see that beautiful place.

You should really try to hook up with Tommy while you're there too, he's about 25 miles up the coast in Huntington Beach.

I loved Dana Point-Me,Jim and Kerry went to a surf shop there in 2003-we flew out for the namm show to introduce the Nunis guitar line. If I make the trip I will look Tommy up-I did not realize he was that close. Thanks for the kind words man

My sincere condolences on the loss of your friend. It's painful to lose someone close to you, and even more tragic when it could have been prevented.
