Rather than bore you with my simpleton words about how great of a person I thought Jose Lima (and he was, in many ways that I cannot articulate as well as I would like to... I will instead use this page to link to many tribute posts (and twitter reactions) from Houston media, fans, national media, and whatever else I can find, regarding the passing of Jose Lima. The four hour tribute on KGOW in Houston (www.1560thegame.com) was great this morning, and some of the blog entries have been great and I think need to be shared with whoever was a fan of Lima Time. Wherever he is now, I'm sure he's keeping the place entertained and will continue to do so for the rest of eternity. RIP Lima Time. You will be missed.
Believe it.

@SeanCablinasian - For Houston sports RADIO fans, we lost one of the all-time greats today in Jose Lima. THAT was an athlete that could carry 4 hours. RIP Cy.
