We’ll all miss Jim here on the Guardian’s site.

I met “Cyclops” at the trolley PR storefront. (As soon as I saw the eye patch, the handle came clear!)

His commentary was lively and enjoyable to read; I for one will miss him. (But I also have faith that he’s in a better place than any of us, where the “politics” are all straightforward and above-the-board.)

Jim will be missed. At least we remember his favorite term for the big guy down at city hall – “Baboon”.

Or his favorite way of signing off. “One heckuva way to run a railroad!”

EDITOR NOTE–He once apologized for using the “baboon” epithet because it offended the baboons.

Nice to know he can see with new eyes now. Hopefully we will see others step up to fill the space Jim leaves. We will miss him.

Such sad news this a.m. on the passing of Jim Monihan, aka “Cyclops.”

He will be remembered and missed for his fiery spirit that would put poxes on the houses of those who lie to get/stay elected, and his impassioned insistence on truth, honesty, integrity, transparency and accountability by public officials.

In his final post a few weeks ago, he rose in defense of Boise journalist David R. Frazier and the Boise Guardian after personal attacks on them by a misguided poster.

Condolences to his family and vast network of friends nationwide with whom he shared a love of the fine art of barbecuing.

Sincerely,

KTA
