This news comes to us by his friend and fellow FReeper, Nathaniel Greene.

”My good friend IRL Jim (Jimmy Philpot) passed away June 29, 2021. Many of us on here knew him as Eddie Willers. He is greatly missed by us.Jimmy was a fine and intelligent man who would have left a mark in this world had his circumstances been different.
He had firsthand working knowledge of consumer electronics and high-end installations that merged seamlessly with his love and knowledge of rock music which was only exceeded by his love for his Georgia Bulldogs, his 1957 Chevy and Mary, the one that got away!
Jimmy truly deserves a memorial.
Thanks for giving me this chance to do so. I miss the conversations that he and I had.”

My mistake, sorry ...
In Memory. RIP
Before you may post this message, the following must be corrected:
Could not find anybody named ‘Nathaniel Greene’
But thank you Jonny for your time spent in memorializing Freepers in this way.
Condolences to you and the remaining family and friends of Jimmy Philpot. RIP, sir.
May his memory be a blessing.
Another gone too soon. 5 years to announce it seems a long time.
LOL
RIP Eddie, and prayers for your loved ones.
I think Dagny gave Eddie a raw deal.
It is, but I’m thankful that we eventually did get the news. So often, we don’t know what happened to our FRiends. They just stop posting ... and we’re left to wonder.
condolences and prayers God be with you all, to you, and to Eddie’s (Jim’s) family and loved ones.
Jimmy Philpot: Memory Eternal!
I’m so sorry for your loss; it sounds like Jimmy was a good man and a good friend.
Thank you for the update.

Rest in Peace FReeper
Rest in Peace “Eddie Willers”.
