JACQUES CAPSOUTO

I am sorry to hear about Jaques Max in Zurich +41 44 79 465 7891

Sami, Kathy, Marco, Magee and Asa, Thinking of you all. Sincere condolences. A community mourns and remembers, Suellen (Tumbling)

My late husband, Norman, and I met Jacques, Sammy, Albear and Mama in the mid 1980's when they "won" our agency's advertising services through The James Beard Foundation. (Or that's how the story goes.) Over the years, we spent wonderful hours, meals and memories together. Being with them was like walking into a hug. I am deeply saddened by the loss of Jacques. And I am not surprised so many other people feel the same.

Over 20 years ago when I was first starting out as a restaurant publicist, Capsouto Freres was a client I got to work with. Jacques' kindness, generosity, warmth, and sense of humor made a lasting impression on me. I'm still deeply touched by his invitation to me to the restaurant's Seder just after I'd had a death in my family. "You will have family on Passover," was what he said. He had called to personally express his condolences. I'm so grateful to have known him. Working with Capsouto...

I am so sorry to hear about Jacques. Our family has so many fond memories of Jacques and the Capsouto family at Capsouto Freres. My condolences to Sam and his family.

A Good friend for over 35 years! He will be missed! We drank lots of wine together over the years. He lived his dream of making his own wine in Israel!

A great friend who helped to restore our life here after 9/11. He and Albert worked tirelessly with our students at NY Restaurant School to feed the first responders that same week. He reinvented himself as a major vintner later in his life. Always had time to answer questions and give help. My sincere condolences to Sami and his family.

Jacques was a warm, family loving, person. Baruch Dayan Emet.
