James Cormier in Lawn and Landscape Magazine

[Ohio ProTurf]

Did anyone else see the article in Lawn and Landscape Magazine (Feb. 05) that features quotes by James Cormier? I just received my new issue in the mail today, and noticed his name in an article titled "Standing Out". Just wanted to give James some "props", and let all of you know that he was quoted in this article.

Congrats, James!

[Green Dreams]

Cool, man. Almost a real life celebrity...

[Green-Pro]

would it be inappropriate to ask for an autograph? :waving:

Way to go Jim

[Envi-Lawn]

Unfortunately, James does not contribute to this site any longer.

[cemars]

Unfortunately, James does not contribute to this site any longer.

Please elaborate or send me a PM if necessary. I am concerned that big brother is about to kill this site.

[slow release]

Maybe he took a job as a Perma Green Sales Rep :laugh:

[KLR]

yes, Jim is alive and well.
Currently he is touring the nation promoting Perma Green Ride-on at every lawn care operation he can find.
If he has visited your operation you know what a convincing sales person he is! If he has not yet visited your operation...be patient, he'll get to you in due time, you see he is actually traveling on a PG unit...at 5 MPH it may seem like a fast machine on a lawn but on the express way...well, it aint so fast.
You can email Jim at ILoveMyPG.com to be sure you are on his list.

[MacLawnCo]

haha. im suposed to take delivery of 5 next week from him... i cant wait.

wow, we are synical jerks. :rolleyes:

[Rob Spread & Spray]

Well, Jim has been through here (Central NY), needed a set of snow tires for PG. Says the hopper does well for salting side walks and doesnt do any more damage to the electrical system does. LOL

[Scraper]

It's a shame all you morons don't appreciate the wealth of information Jim had to offer.

[Green Dreams]

I appreciate him and hope this all is not true...

[Rob Spread & Spray]

It's funny for years we have told People at L&L that if you dont like something dont read it, just pass it by.

I was sent an email saying my Signature had been edited because if I had it up on here then others offereing similar services would want to do the same. I had it on here for the longest time too, but we dont own the forum, so we either have to respect the rules or go somewhere else. So be it.

[Scraper]

I appreciate him and hope this all is not true...

I guess I should've used "didn't" in my original post as from what I have heard Jim is gone. Everyone should learn from this.

[Rob Spread & Spray]

Saw him at L&L today Scraper, feel free to join us over there.

[DLS1]

Saw him at L&L today Scraper, feel free to join us over there.

I looked at that site today for some reason and saw a post that he is back. I guess he may started over at L&L. Sounds like no one cared if he was back or is that dry/sarcastic humor over their.

That board they have is the worse style I have every seen. That scrolling through each post is 40 years old. Who wants to look at every single message if your only interested in pesticide topics or organics,etc.

[Rob Spread & Spray]

DLS1, I guess after being there for so long ya just get used to it.

I can always tell what the thread is about by reading the initial post. If I dont like it I skip it.

BTW, dry humor. LOL

actually us regulars at L&L cant stand Cormier! I mean the guy comes around every now and then and makes all kinds of trouble. He breaks all the forum rules and in general is just a pain in the neck. Besides, his real agenda at L&L is to sell those darn PG units. Its like he's possessed!! What a nut case.

relax, I'm just kiddin

Did anyone notice who else was quoted in the article? :dizzy:

[turfsurfer]

yeah, Lawrence hasn't been around for awhile either. At least not on here, just other places.

[philk17088]

I do believe he is persona non grata here. :p

[ns400r]

Well, Im not sure if any of you remember him in here, but I heard some bad new on the radio today.

It seems James was returning from his cross country trip on the pg and he had a high speed blow out with one of the front tires and ran off the road in up state NY

Because of the speed of the crash and the lack of protective equipment he was wearing it seems he didn't survive the crash:cry: He will be missed.

Like Johny Appleseed before him, this Native of Leominster spent the last year circling the states planting the seeds of growth in small LCO's budgets by introducing them to the fine machine he lost his life on.

RIP PG Jimi

Here is the last known footage of him

http://media.putfile.com/12-2

[LonniesLawns]

I always knew the PG would be the end of him. I always figured he would run it off a cliff and not be able to bail soon enough.

Goodbye Jim! You'll be missed!

[DUSTYCEDAR]

that video was the funniest thing i have seen lol
thanks for the laff

This was not funny!!! What a naive fool I am. I read those first few paragraphs and started to get choked up. I did not read the rest of the post right away. I was about to call a friend of mine who knows of James. Geez... I was already starting to think about how I can contact his family to offer my sympathy and prayers.

NOT FUNNY YOU JERK!

OK... a little funny.

By the way, for some reason I can not view the video.

[TSM]

not to worry, Cormier is alive and well (i think)... heard he moved out west to northern calif. (funny, thats where ns400r is from?.....and the ns400 is (was) Cormier's favorite bike i think.....strange, huh?:waving:

[Green Dreams]

You had me going too for a second...

lol?

Even though I never met the man, I felt so connected to him thru his passion for motorcycles, I picked my screen name as a tribute to him:rolleyes:

As it turns out, maybe he did survive his high speed accident on the PG, there where rumor of someone tearing up the back roads of Vermont on a brand new zspray, no video of that yet but some more great video's of James...aka OSJ can be found here

Dave, the reason you cant view the video is your browsers thinks its a pop up, when you click on the link you might see a little icon on the top right for a minute, click on it, or you may have to turn off your pop up blocker to see them.

Of course you should have a high speed connection as well, some of the movies above are rather large.

Now onto James, see the post to TSM above, as it turns out this may have been a cruel joke played on the general public, there is a rumor that the fine people at PG own the radio station that was so quick to broadcast the fate of PG Jim after the spill......hmmmmm.....makes you wonder...huh

[grassguy_]

Gosh I hope he didnt crash with the perma green unit he bought off me!!! OMG! I was sure those brakes were in great shape when he bought it too! Man!!!

If JC is truly gone, a great man is lost and a good friend to many of us. If you can hear this JC, wherever you are, thanks for everything...

[grassguy_]

OMG! that last footage :cry: :cry: ahh, its really hurts to see him manuevering so well and to think ...........:cry: ...nevermind! that machine looks too familiar, awwww man!

[ns400r]

Well there seems to be a larger conspiracy going here, as it turns out the PG he may have lost his life on, was just purchased from a competitor.....hmmmmmm....

could it be JC pissed off just too many people in the turf business?

[ns400r]

OMG! that last footage :cry: :cry: ahh, its really hurts to see him manuevering so well and to think ...........:cry: ...nevermind! that machine looks too familiar, awwww man!

Yes he sure did know how to spread sh$t on a lawn

[jajwrigh]

It's a shame all you morons don't appreciate the wealth of information Jim had to offer.

He was awesome and such a pioneer...:p

[ns400r]

He was awesome and such a pioneer...:p

The rumor was he saw this sign and didnt know what to do and ran over some debris in the road, Next thing he know the PG was barreling out of control.....the rest is well alittle sketchy

[ns400r]

OMG! that last footage :cry: :cry: ahh, its really hurts to see him manuevering so well and to think ...........:cry: ...nevermind! that machine looks too familiar, awwww man!

I guess he had a gps hooked up to the PG, this is how he found his way around our great country. A local newspaper printed this photo of his GPS at the crash scene, I guess we all know why this tragedy happened

[ns400r]

that video was the funniest thing i have seen lol
thanks for the laff

Dusty, Im sure you enjoyed your time on LS conversing with JC as much as I did, I found some old photos of the short Frenchman, I though I would share one of us at lunch back a few years ago

[DUSTYCEDAR]

Arrrg! Why did you show me that? You know I am on a low carb diet. I don't think I will be able to sleep at all now. But seriously I know for a fact that JC gets 2 or three medium French vanilla coffees at DD's every day.

[ns400r]

Looks like he's into more than just coffee & motorcycles

[PROCUT1]

[TSM]

he has generated over 50 replies and over 1900 views to this thread.

http://www.pbase.com/oldstonejim/boxing_day_ride_with_chinnook

I guess he's alive and well,

[DUSTYCEDAR]

wonder if he is traddin in the pg for the chopper :waving:

[Green Dreams]

too bad he got run off...

I was just thinking about...ain't been here in a long time yet he is racking up the love.

[grassguy_]

Boy, he could ride a chopper and fly a chopper as well, its seems so ironic that he was nearly to the point of mastering the PG as well! What a guy!

you got a long way to go to catch some of these lco's, some are on 7/20
burn the midnight oil

[Sean Adams]

There has been a big misunderstanding - Jim and I just spoke on the phone, we are going to bring back the handle James Cormier....

what we realized was he was exiled not because of his actions or us diagreeing on the site.... it appears that his disappearance coincidentally ocurred when the Patriots defeated my Steelers last year in the AFC Championship Game :mad:

[grassguy_]

Well now that's a logical reason for his disappearance!! LOL But does that mean he'll disappear again now that the Patriots have as well?:eek: hehehe Gotta, get ya with that one Jim!! :p HAve to admit like both Steelers and Patriots but think it was time for a changing of the guard, so to speak!

[James Cormier]

Thanks Sean, like we discussed last night, no hard feelings!

I look forward to spending some time in here again

Now onto more important things, enjoy your steelers this year, cause next season Brady and the boys will be back and ready for another ring!

Take care
JC

[TSM]

oh great, Cormier is back...*sigh*
the guy is such an ...........


oh, hey Jim, good to see ya again:blob4:

[Sean Adams]

Cindy Brady is done...she had her run....Big Ben's time now....

[TSM]

Cindy Brady is done...she had her run....Big Ben's time now....
you do genuflect when you mention Brady's name, dont you????

could very well be Ben's time. Steelers play so well on the road (although it would have been sweet to get them up in new england....but when you drop the ball 3 times in a play off...you lose and dont get another chance to play the Steelers [yea, i'm a long time Patriots fan who is still in dismay...what went wrong?]anyway, I loved the way the Steelers handled the Colts and I aint a big fan of Denver....so i give my support to the Steelers.

was also disapointed the Bears got knocked out of the race on the NFC side

[lawn king]

#1 welcome back j. c. good to have another old lawn guy on site! #2 patriots layed an egg, it sucks but it happens now & then! Steelers & panthers will make for a good superbowl, denver & the seasquacks are done!

[LwnmwrMan22]

WB Cormier... here's to trusting the last year's been good for ya... :drinkup:
