Schmitz Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 It is with sadness that I report that Jim "Doc" Bonanni passed away on July 2nd. Jim was a long time IPMS member, a founding member of the Three Rivers IPMS Chapter, and for years a regular at National Conventions and model shows up and down the east coast. Walking through a contest room with Jim was always an adventure, as he seemed to meet an old friend every few feet traveled. Jim always had a joke to tell, and I have fond memories of him holding court in the club "hospitality suite" at our last Regional; he was a great guy to share a beer or a long ride to a model show, and he will be greatly missed in our club. Visitation will be held Sunday evening in Sharpsville, PA.

dmorrissette Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Don: I am very, very sorry to hear that. Doc was a great man and fun at conventions. He has been a staple for decades and had the respect of everyone he met. John and all will be in our prayers Dave
