Mickey and Jackie and the other Accolti family members, you have my sincerest sympathies for your loss. I remember many pleasant conversations with James during the soccer seasons. He was a good man. I recall him saying how much he loved this country, and how proud he was of you Jackie. I am sorry and will offer a rosary for him.
God bless

My prayers and thoughts are with Officer Accolti's (this is how I knew Him)family. He was one of the first COs I met 13 yrs ago at CCDOC and he had the best sense of humor, esp. when he spoke Italian.We would always greet each other, are you going to the Feast, have you been to Italy, how's the family...He is gone way too soon but you can be extremely proud of the man he was and the life he led.
