Jim Strickland, according to his wife, Polly, on this website, has noted his passing.  

Jim Strickland, and Larry Scott were the first to report VA "getting caught" shredding Veterans evidence in Oct. 2008.

Jim offered great help to many Veterans, including me.

He will be missed. He was always kind to me and willing to help. One of the pioneers in online veterans advocacy and Larry Scott.

I am writing my memoirs and would love it if you could help a shipmate out and look at it.

I've had a few challenges, perhaps the same as you. I relate them here to demonstrate that we can learn, overcome, and find purpose in life.

The stories can be harrowing to read; they were challenging to live. Remember that each story taught me something I would need once I found my purpose, and my purpose was and is HadIt.com Veterans.

He definitely will be missed. I remember reading his site before I found Hadit.

Makes me feel old. I started before Jim, before Larry Scott. I feel like the ancient one now, I started the site in the 90's and there was not much out there and nothing like this.

It makes me so sad to hear about Jim, he was personally kind and supportive to me and could always make me laugh.

We all owe him a debt of gratitude for continuing Larry Scott's work on VAWatchdog.org. Jim and I talked during the transition and he had to put a lot of work into it.

I will miss reaching out to him and of course, reading his thoughts on the VA WatchDog.
