    Sounds like Betty Sue had her hand out for years expecting some sort of freebie and when she didn’t get it, turned into a crotchety old windbag. R.I.P Jimmy Dean

    I met him about 20 years ago & didn’t recognize him right away, but what struck me was how polite & gentlemanly he was. Sincerest condolences to his family.

    To all of the people(?) who have such hateful and mean thing’s to say, at this time of sorrow for Jimmys wife and family, I would like to say, that you did not know this man. He was a loving and kind man. PETA can go to the devil and take all of your nasty comments about Jimmy with you. God bless Jimmy’s family.

    I don’t have any problem with people who choose to be vegetarian or vegan, but I wish the extremists would shut up. Pigs, Chickens, Cows, Turkeys etc are
    on this planet to be food. If you do want to eat them you PETA morons, then don’t, but don’t celebrate a person’s death because of all the pork they “slaughtered”.
    I wonder if you extremists animal rights activists show the same amount of compassion (and financial contributions) to people suffering from cancer, heart disease, diabeties, AIDS, etc. and the organizations who fight them, or do you feel people with those diseases deserve them because of their lifestyle choices (many/most of them do not).

  • Okay, I Think….

    Monroe and I met at a Jimmy Dean dance at the firehouse in Oxon Hill, MD back in the 50′s. We had our 55th wedding anniversary in 2010. Jimmy Dean was a gracious and entertaining man. Through the years we have enjoyed the precious memories of knowing Jimmy Dean. RIP.

    HI JimmyThis is Paul, Chanya’s husband. You know who I am and that I have spent some time where you are now. Thankfully ntihong like as long as you have been forced to spend in that hell-hole. I know Chanya looks after you the best she can and that you will always be able to rely on her honesty and integrity. I hope in some ways that she has proved to you that not everythign in Thailand is as corrupt as it may at first seem. I dont really know what to say. I havent been home that long myself and it has taken me a long time to adjust to the real world again, but I still have nightmares about what happened to me and I thank god every day that i survived it. Stay strong, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I know some days it doesnt feel that way, but never give up. I dont consider myself to be the strongest of men, so if i made it out of there alive then i know you can. I look forward to the day when you and and I and chanya can sit down and have a cold one together and look back and laugh at what has happened to us. If there is ever anythign I can do to help just let Chanya know.RegardsPaul (UK, formerly Dan-1)

    What I want to know is how much all this is bloody cstniog?Worldwide investigations by the Federal police since 2006, officers jetting and staying around the globe. Thousands of man hours of surveillance.That’s millions of dollars from what I understand the facts are that, the APF and Customs and quarantine tracked 3 containers from Pakistan they intercepted all 3 and search every nook and cranny they even did a microscopic analysis and not even one microscopic particle of any illegal substance was found to be present? So why do keep mentioning 600kg of ice?Sounds like a waste of time and tax payers’ money in my opinion.And a question that I would like to ask is how many crimes have gone unnoticed and undetected because the cops have been too busy investigating and arresting each bloody other like the key stone cops.I am sure we could have put all those millions of dollars to a better cause.AlbertMelbourne

    Hi Matey, Cant begin to tell you how much we miss you, and wait for the day that justice is done. Its a diisugtsng affair- and if I begin with the facts I know I will rant. What a sick story they made up, the whole thing is an outrage. No evidence, -no suprise No crime!!!!You’ve been a top friend for many years, my family are sickened by the lies Australia have cooked up, but then we know the lengths they will go to to save their embarrassment, its the same the whole world over,and corruption seems to be taking over! Hard as it must be, stay strong, because I know you will be free and your story will be told, remember-truth will out. Take care of yourself, and I WILL see you soon. XXX
