Jamie Head aka Headbone, to those of us who were fortunate enough to have known him.My name is Kevin Austin, I just recently found that Jamie had graduated to the true upper classmen level back in 07. I truely never had a closer friend and i proudly call him my brother. Lets just say there was no half steppin for these Radmen. His passing has made me question my own mortality,but having known him he would probably laugh and say , grab the barbell and give me three more sets of  ten,your workout isn't over yet.I remember during 1976 the Hickam cafeteria had a discount plate called the" bicenntenial special",the best cheeseburger w/ fries and coke, we nearly put them out of business. Brother maybe we will catch up,and throw munch on another "special" if, i make it upstairs.             To the Head family I will miss him and sometimes to this day when confronted with a decision to make i ask myself i wonder what Jamie would do.Radford once Radford always don't let those who have left early be forgotten and without a voice,or kind word. Red, Black, and White day and night.

My name is Robert Rozsa and I knew Jim Head for approximately 10 years. Out of respect, I will refer to him as Mr. Head.  I was just a kid (13) and my younger brother Jeff (11) when we moved away from the Moorings where Mr. Head was the Property Manager in 1985.  I'm afraid to say that my friends and I probably added to his stress levels always telling us to either stop goofing off, jumping off walls into the pool, stop skateboarding everywhere etc.  I can still hear him yell at us "Dammit boys!! If I've told you once, I've told you 100 times to stop...." Insert whatever mischief we were up to at that particular time. I returned to Hawaii with my wife and 3 kids in May 2003. I was showing off where I grew up (unit #41). My family and I walked along the marina wall just as I did as a kid.  All of a sudden, I heard a voice from the past that could not be mistaken. It was Mr. Head. I rushed over to him, where he was painting the side of a wall.  He didn't give me much attention as I re-introduced myself, but, as soon as he heard my last name, he snapped upright, put his paint brush down and shook my hand excitedly. He immediately asked about my mom, Joan, dad Peter, and brother Jeff. He did this all by name, 20 years later!!! Mr. Head had left an impression in me. I'm obviously an adult now, and from time to time, still use his line with my kids..."If I've told you once, I've told you 100 times...." (It makes me smile).  Mr. Head, you were quite the man and you are sorely missed. - Robert Rozsa
