What an amazing tribute to an amazing human being! You were truly blessed to know Jimmy! Jimmy did pull us up into a large family. Gone but never forgotten. ❤

Thanks for sharing all the stories Stewart! It sounds like he really admired you. "isn't it amazing how well we've done?" sure he knew he had made it big but, he truly admired you and your craft. Very cool.

Great tribute to a man who wrote the soundtrack of our lives, as we were all living it -- on the beach over 50 years ago ! And he kept the stoke alive ever after. Jimmy was that special man that squeezed all the juice out of life, served it up to us in a bottomless Margarita, along with an appropriate song, and a planeload of memories ! He really was the Jolly Mon -king of oceanic folklore and the troubadour of "tropical country". Thanks for sharing this tribute Bill. Much Aloha Spirit here.

[@stewartsurfboards4837]

Very well said! Thanks Mike

Awsesome tribute Bill! How fortunate you were to be Jimmy's good friend. He was truly an absolutely amazing human being and I still can't believe he's gone.

[@stewartsurfboards4837]

Thanks Rick! I know, such a huge loss. 😢

[@StevenTaylor-r8p]

Thank you for sharing these stories. I have been a fan since Jimmy was playing small venues. It is nice to hear these stories after his long overdue success. Such a good man, Jimmy Buffett is missed. Thanks again for sharing

[@chriscosby2459]

Great stories -- he was a character and lived life to the fullest. I love his line -- "I gotta fly to Saint Somewhere."

[@johnc.9443]

Great stories Bill. Thank you for sharing

[@christopherhalliday2900]

Wow... you brought tears to my eyes Bill. You confirmed what I've always thought of Jimmy. Thank you for the stories and for convincing Jimmy to buy the bigger airplane! Aloha

[@stevenmcbride2776]

Thx for the wonderful stories

[@lorenzo-kc9og]

Thank You Mr. Stewart for sharing these great Jimmy Buffett stories with us. You were obviously a special person in Jimmy's life and talented and it was moving to hear how his generosity was a natural part of your friendship.

[@stewartsurfboards4837]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@stephenschuda7487]

Great stories and tribute to really nice and talented person.When I heard he passed, the first thing I thought of; are his boards still being stored up in the rafters of the shop? The only thing better would've been if you had a margarita on the table instead of a glass of wine.

[@stewartsurfboards4837]

Thanks! True, it shoulda been a margarita!

[@rpo820]

"He lived a very blessed life...and shared it with all his friends". Love this. Thank you Bill Stewart for sharing this. Love and respect! Fins up!

Amazing stories. That Jimmy bought a bigger plane to accommodate his surfboard. Gym‘s been going a little over a year, and it’s still hurts, but I’m so grateful for all the videos of Jimmy’s music and all his friends telling stories, that are available on UA-cam. I do hope to get down to Key West sometime in the not so distant future. Thank you.

[@kevintaugher]

what a beautiful tribute Bill. I was a big fan of Jimmy. I also have 3 of your boards which I love and surf daily.

[@stewartsurfboards4837]

Thanks! Hope the boards are bringing you as much joy as Jimmy brought to everyone around him.
