Dear Sally and Family,
I am very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Although it has been 20 plus years since I have worked for you, Jim was a great guy and always treated me well. I remember Sabatino's with a smile.
Take care

Sally,Jamie,and Lori

I am sorry to hear of Jims passing. I was in town just last week and passed by the old Sabatinos and thought of Jim and Sally. He was a great boss and a hillarious man with a good heart. My and my wifes best wishes go out to all of the family and I will always remember the fun times I had and people I met through Jim and Sabatinos.

Sally, Lori and Family:

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's death.
When I worked at City Hall in OC, Jean and I would look forward to going to Sabatino's for lunch almost every day. Both of you were always so courteous and we loved talking with you. My sincere sympathy to you and your family. Jim was a great person.
