It´s hard to believe that it´s been 10 years Jim has been gone. His memory lives on strong and his impact to the rest of us will remain. See you down the road Jim.....

In 1969, I attended Drake College of Business. My best teacher there was Mrs. Denmead. I learned a lot from her. She and your dad had parties for us students, Frank Capano, Joe Jannone, Bill Birath etc etc. You were a small adorable child and doted upon by your parents. Ironic is that I decided to search for Mrs. Denmead a week ago and just spotted your dad's obituary. So sorry that I didn't do this much sooner. You were blessed with the best parents. I was blessed to have them in my life in my twenties for a short times. Joseph Jannone and I have always remarked on what wonderful people they were and want an impact they had on us in our earlier years. I am sure you have wonderful memories of them....Patty Assante Gambino and Joseph Jannone.

Linda,
I want to express my condolences to you and your family. I also want you to know that my short time knowing Dad, was at best challenging but great. The wording you used in describing his move to Newton were very accurate and surely described him well.
Thank you for the short time in sharing Dads last years with me as we became friends and he surely went a day with his words of wisdom bestowed on me. Jim was a unique person and we blended well despite his reluctance to relocate.
Once again your in my thoughts and hope you remain strong.
