Not sure what to say?

Had the pleasure of being in four of Dr. Capone's classes at Kean in 1976 and 1977. The lessons that I learned from him helped me to have a 42 year career as an accountant for the Wakefern Food Corporation. Thank you, Dr. Capone. You always had a great sense of humor. Richard Ozimek

Our sincerest condolences. Ron and I were always very fond of Jim. May he be reaping his just rewards in heaven. Janet Frigerio

When you lose a wonderful man like Jim, you are lost for words. I went through Holy Trinity Grade school with him and he was always a dear friend. He was kind, and thoughtful and I know he is at peace. Thanks for the memories!

I was a student of Dr. Capone at Kean College back in the early 80's. During one of our Cost Accounting classes, he suggested that I consider going for an interview for an IRS Co-Op program. Heeding his advice, I went to the interview and was selected for a position that led to an almost 40-year career. I will be eternally grateful for his support and advice. He was an excellent educator and even better human being. He gave so much to his country and communities. May he rest in peace.

Dr. Capone was an amazing and helpful professor. Years after I graduated, he remembered my name. May God Bless The Family.

I am so sorry for your loss. The Bible provides a wonderful hope for us when we lose someone we love. Please feel assure from our Heavenly Father and the Hope of seeing James again.
