I met Jimmy through the Reville family years ago. I will always remember when Jimmy, Dan W. and Lenny M. ran the building at 385 Franklin St. Jimmy never stopped making me laugh or trying to create deals. He has a wonderful family with Marge, Jane and John. His legacy will be them and his legion of friends!
God Bless you Jimmy! Thanks for everything.

Dear Margie, Jane and John,

Jimmy was thoughtful, sharp minded funny and always gracious. The man really lit up a room. Never hesitated to help someone in need. To say he's unforgettable would be an understatement. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to know your father Jane and John. He really has been a driving force in your life and there is no doubt that even in his absence he will continue to be just that. Jimmy lived for the two of you and you truly are his greatest legacy. I know how proud he was of both his children! My heart is with you all as I am deeply saddened by the loss we share. I am assured that we will be comforted by our memories and our love which is very much alive."
We love you!
Kara, Anthony, Ava and Tony

Dear Marge, Jane and John - I will miss Jimmy. He never failed to make me smile - he was wickedly funny. But as you've seen, Sonny will miss his dear friend more than we will ever know. Jimmy was genuine - you never doubted his sincerity and humanity. I will always think of him at Easter and Thanksgiving - our traditional time to laugh and toast to good friends. You will be missed Jimmy - Peace. Linda and Sonny

When you met him you knew Jimmy was one of a kind even in college. We car-pooled to UB together, Paul Di Giulio, Rich Mancuso and I, the only female. He was quick witted quick moving and idealistic, as we all were then. He will be missed. My sympathies to his family.

I am so saddened at the loss of such a terrific friend.. Jimmy was one of a kind-- never missed a moment to make you laugh or "help" you through a crisis! A dear man, devoted friend & mentor! He will me missed by many-- and thought of often.. Jimmy was a "real" friend-- and always made you "smile".. I was proud to be his friend for over 35 years .. They just don't make them like him anymore ! :(

Margie, Jim, and Jane.

On behalf of me, Beth, Ryan, and Patrick, our condolences go out to you. Jimmy was a loyal friend who mentored me through my young political career. Jimmy was not only interested in teaching a young kid navigate the constant change in the sea of politics, but he taught you how to be the example of class, graciousness, and reverence.

I and Beth will miss you Jimmy, but most of all, we will never forget your loyalty and loving friendship.

Mark, Beth, Ryan, and Patrick Catanzaro.

Farewell to one of the legends of Buffalo's legal fraternity. He was a true original who wiped many of our noses in the early days. We will tell many stories and drink many toasts to his memory. He will not be equaled or forgotten for a long, long time.
