Not sure what to say?

To Marilynn and your wonderful family, please accept my condolences. I've been a client of first Snippers (both locations) and Spa801 for over 35 years, and I am going to truly miss this wonderful man. I must have gone thru three or four stylists before Jim bravely took me on. The jokes... the laughter... the guidance... Jim had an enormous impact on me, and as I told him at my wedding, I had such admiration for him as a father, a husband, a business owner... everything he did was with style,...

Dear Marilyn, Heidi, Gretchen & Grands,
We are so sorry for your loss of this great man who loved his family and life with such passion. We, like so many others, have lost a dear friend and will miss him always. For the past 28 years seeing Jim every 5 weeks has been part of my life even for the years I lived in Spring Hill. Jim was dearly loved because he loved all of us. Rest in peace dear friend.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Jim was such a charismatic, kind hearted and happy man who truly loved his wonderful family and life! You are in our prayers for God's comfort and strength at this sad time in your lives.

Thoughts and prayers to Marilynn, Heidi, Gretchen and family. Jim was a true Gentleman and a pure joy to be around! With much love always........
Tish, Claire, Mary Madden and family.

Marilyn and Family,
What a great 11 years I had with Jim. He was such a great man. Always so polite and caring. I am blessed beyond words to have met him and you. You will forever be a part of my family.
2Corinthians 5:1
1For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
Love you both!

Dear Marilyn, Heidi, & Gretchen, and beloved grandchildren,
My heart goes out to you for your present loss of Jim/your dad/granddad. He was one of my favorite people and I am sad to know that I won't be seeing him when I come into the shop every 6 or 8 weeks, as I have done for the last 40 plus years. The obituary was spot on for this great guy! You were all very blessed to have shared your lives with him and you will always have that blessing. How very fortunate you are to have...

I cannot find the words to express how I feel. Jim did my hair for what seems like forever. Every five weeks, I would head over to Snippers and later, Spa 801, where Jim and I would tell each other off color jokes, spar over politics, compare our latest travels, discuss food and drink and brag about our kids. He was my friend and I loved him. He will be missed. Tonight, Jere and I will make a "perfect" manhatten, a Jim suggested cocktail, and toast this one-of-a-kind man.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathies to Marilyn, Heidi and Gretchen and your families. I have such happy memories of the years spent at your salon! May the love and support of your family and friends comfort you as you grieve. With love, Jeannie and Dick Nissenbaum

A great guy, already missed. My sympathy, Marilyn, to you and your family.
