Jim Loudermilk Passes Away

[HAROLD TIMMONS]

I just received a call from Jennifer Loudermilk, daughter of Jim
Loudermilk. Her father passed away with cancer last night.

Many of you may be familiar with him as he did a lot to promote the
history and legacy of Southern Gospel Music. He lived in Raleigh, NC,
and had two syndicated radio shows, "Heaven's Jubilee" and "The Old
Gospel Ship," as well as a television syndicated show, "Heaven's
Jubilee."

Mr. Loudermilk was also involved in the restoration of old masters and
did a lot of work for several firms, including Memory Lane Gospel, which
he did the work for many projects. He also restored masters for Skylite
Records, and others.

Jennifer said the funeral would probably be Friday. The arrangements are
incomplete at this time, but she will be getting back with me later
today on the details. I will pass these along as I learn of them.
