Not sure what to say?

I was very sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I worked for Jim at RCI in White Plains and to this day he was THE best boss I ever had. At one point I worked for Jim, Joe T., and Jim Wrasman all at once! That, I believe, was Jim's idea, but Joe T and Jim W. went their way and I worked for Jim Addonizio for over two years. He made coming to work a pleasure. And yes, Jim Addonzio was a Reichhold legend and is often spoken of when we talk about our days at Reichhold. I have only good...

We are sorry for your families loss. We know he will be missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jimmy, Fun loving, chairman of the lunch bunch,my faforite dance partner,a true gentleman,a great friend, a loving husband, the world was better off with him in it. I will miss him.

John and I feel so blessed to have had Jim in our lives and to have been a part of his. He was such a wonderful, elegant man and Italian to the bone.We remember all those wonderful times and laughs that we shared over the years together. As I told Jim often, he was as close to Marcello Mastroianni that I would ever come, which always made him smile.
You will be sorely missed my friend.Our thoughts and prayers to your beloved Annie and your family at this sad time.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of a Reichhold legend. Mr. Addonizio interviewed and hired me at Reichhold in 1985. I'll never forget him including me as a 23 year old, newly graduated "recruit" and he made me feel a part of something big and grand...and it was. At dinner, one of my first nights with RCI, we ate at New World Landing at a sales meeting. The menu's were covered in leather, a big deal for a kid. Mr. Addonizio asked what I would have and I had hoped to try the then new...

Mrs. Addonizio, I'm so sorry to hear of Mr. Addonizio's passing. He was always a pleasure to speak with, a nice gentleman. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Scott Westmark

Jim was such an elegant man - I worked at Reichhold when Joe Trivisone and Tom McGraw and Jim had offices in the old building....it was a lovely era of gentlemen.

Sending my sincere condolences to Ann and the family.
