Jeanne, I am so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. He was a graious host at dialysis parties; I recall the pig roast especially. May the love of friends and family support you at this difficult time.

My sincerest condolences to the entire Picone family. “Golden Bear” was like a second father to all of us who grew up around the Picone house. Thinking back to those times makes me laugh. He was quite the character with a wonderful sense of humor, and a compassionate and loving husband and father. We are all better for having known him, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to share part of my life with him and his entire family. Goodbye “GB”, and may you always rest in peace.
