James J. Aiello

My Dearest Pop,
There are so many words to describe the impact that you had on all of you family's lives. The compound will never be the same without you in the middle, holding all of us together. The meomories I have of you will always be with me, especially through my father. He is so much like you.

Uncle Jim provided so many wonderful stories of my dad with the Childs family and loved us all unconditionally. He was such an incredible, jovial man, stern at times but overflowing with love. He is missed, but I know he's having an amazing time in Heaven with my parents,Guy and Patricia, Aunt Teddy and Uncle John, and the love of his life, Aunt Barbara. It's a party up there--let's celebrate his 94 amazing years. xoxox

To the family of James and and to his Judy,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. James was an amazing Man, full of life and much love for others. I felt fortunate to have had the oppurtunity to know him. He will be greatly missed

I had the privilege of meeting Mr Aiello and several of his devoted family members while visiting a friend at the VA. That his family members took the time to speak with kindness to my friend when he shared a room with Mr Aiello spoke volumes about what an example he must have set for his children and grandchildren! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I was so sorry to hear about your dad. he was a wonderful man and I will keep him in my prayers.

To the Family of Jim Aiello,
Please accept my condolences. Mr. Aiello was a great man and a person with alot of common sense. He interviewed and hired me in 1977, at the Albany Urban Renewal Agency, now known as the Albany Community Development Agency and I am still working there. Patty Hourigan

I remember the Sunday midday trips to the Thatcher St. warehouse or office to give Mom and Aunt Barbara a break -- chasing fire engines, the snapping of the belt (I broke my belt immitating Uncle Jim tonight, now I need red suspenders).

Thank you Peter for saying so eloquently what I am sure all of the Ford's feel.

Dear Mazie and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your recent loss. Love, The Bemis'

To the family and friends of Jim Aiello,

It was my privilege to serve with Jim as a member of the Appeals Board at the NYS Dep't. of Motor Vehicles. His thoughtful, common sense approach to the issues before us was an asset to the deliberative process. From a personal standpoint, Jim was a gentleman and someone with whom I enjoyed conversing. Please accept my sincere condolences on his passing.
