Spidey was a fixture on this forum and many others. Sadly, his health took a bad turn a few years ago, and he had been in an assisted living facility for a while. May he rest in peace, be able to watch old school NASCAR racing while sipping his favorite beer, and racing his beloved Nova. RIP Jim.
Below is a Facebook post from his sister, Mary Ellen Mayer, on April 28th:
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our brother, Jimmy. He died of natural causes peacefully in his sleep yesterday morning.
Jimmy was the most generous person that I knew. He would help anyone at anytime. He was my GPS way before there was even such a thing. He knew everything about everything! In looking at him by his size, he could be intimidating, but when you got to know him, he was the nicest, friendliest guy in the world. Jimmy was my protector. He took me on the Dragon Coaster at Playland when I was about 10 years old, I was really scarred, but sitting snugly next to him, I felt completely secure.
We had many good times growing up. As we aged to adults, we didn’t see each other as much as we have the last six years. I saw what a loving, proud father he was. Loving, caring son and a very appreciative brother. He was missed the second that we knew he passed. I know he is in Heaven with our Dad walking and probably catching up on politics. I hope that he meets Dale Earnhardt and they have a steak dinner together or maybe some chicken wings from Hooters. I really just hope all his ailments are gone and he is feeling great! I know he will be watching over many of us, especially his two children Daniel and Cathryn. Rest In Peace my big brother Jimmy. Love you forever, 1 4 3 as Mommy and Daddy would say. ❤️
