I just recieved this this note via John Paris.  It sounds like Jim is in a bad way, he and his family need our thoughts and prayers:

"Everyone,
I have learned that Jim Morway suffered a severe seizure on Tuesday 21 May 13 that led to him being hospitalized.  He suffered additional seizures which seems to have resulted in brain damage.  While he is able to communicate on a limited basis he is not able to recognize people or remember things.  He also is unable to eat and per his prior wishes and family agreement, the decision has been made that no feeding tubes will be administered.  Jim will be moved to a hospice later this week to see how things will work out.
 
I will provide more information as it becomes available.  Kris is quite overwhelmed at this point, so I ask that you keep her in your prayers along with Jim.  Also I ask that she not be contacted as there is a lot going on for her right now and she needs to stay focused on what is happening.  I understand that Jason will be coming up soon to be with his father.
 
Please pass this along to the people that know Jim.  I do not have the emails of all the combat guys so some assistance here would be helpful and I could use some additional help in the stunt community as well.  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I thought that this should get out."
 

I often wondered why Jim was not at the contests I was at last year, I enjoyed his conversation  and the 911 plane. Sad news indeed.

I think I first meet Jim at a past VSC.   One great guy and I pray the Lord does right by him.

Prayers will continue to be offered for Jim, his family and friends.

Bill

 
Any updates on Jim?

I've known Jim Morway as a combat & stunt flyer from the early 1960's.  Jim's had some health problems for the last couple decades.    Let's hope and pray that he's able to make anther comeback.

That is sad in a way to hear another has gone that I have met  and never really got to know.   But, do know he is probably flying in perfect flying conditions.   

Since my move to Korea about 2 1/2 years ago, my time spent flying with Jim was limited to the times I came home to visit or generally just a few times each year.  For probably 10 years prior to that we flew just about every chance we could.  I gave him a call every week to talk about upcoming events, happenings back in Michigan, how he was progressing or not on a project and just generally to shoot the bull.  We had talked about future airplanes, his potential foray into electrics and when I would be coming home.  Certainly glad that we kept in touch and I treasure the time I spent with him, just as I treasure the time that I get to spend with my CL family.  I know that Jim had many friends in Combat and Stunt and I think that he probably enjoyed the social aspect of flying most of all, but a close second was either the 5 minutes in the combat circle or the 8 minutes in the stunt circle.  I will miss my weekly calls and flying partner.

I think that the attached picture is a good representation of the lasting friendships that we find in our circles.
