Happy Birthday, Jimmie


Recommended Posts

For the past 19 years, I've wished Jimmie a happy birthday. There were some years when I'd send him the latest first person shooter video game and we'd play. Those were good times. It's very strange... it doesn't seem like he's really gone and I guess, in a way, he isn't. He's on my tv nearly every week and I have plenty of great memories. 

 

Happy Birthday, Jimmie. We miss you.

Happy birthday tomorrow Rosco. You're always in our hearts. I bet you're driving around up in Hazzard Heaven in that Rolls Royce Sheriff's car of yours. Khee kheeing all the way. 

This is a cool coincidence. In my episode review thread, the next episode just happens to be 10 Million Dollar Sheriff and I was planning on watching it tomorrow for Rosco's birthday.....and then I saw this post from last year where I mentioned the Rolls. Happy birthday Sunday Sheriff!

I still feel bad for you MM. Celebrating Jimmie's BD here on HN is always bittersweet. We love you Rosco and we love you too MM for bringing us all together.

Jewel Franklin Guy.......born 7-26-1926. We know him simply as James Best and Rosco. If he wouldn't  have gone to Hazzard Heaven he would be 98 years old today (Fri). We love and miss you Rosco....even though you weren't always fair to the 4 Dukes. 

Thank you Roger for putting this and reminding me. I remember years ago I went to a car show an hour or so away from where I live, because Jimmie (Rosc0) and Ben Jones (Cooter) was there. It was around this time of year. I was in line to see Ben Jones when I remembered Jimmie's birthday and I went and wished him a happy birthday. His whole face lit up. Made my day and is something I will always remember.

I never got to meet him but he did send me his pic and autograph, along with Flash's autograph!  He sent it to me when I bought  his tape with him and sorrel fishing on his yacht.  Sorrel wasn't used to fishing and being on the water and got sick and leaned over the boat! :)
