Not sure what to say?

I had the distinct pleasure of working physically close to Jim at Citi (sat directly across for many years). A true Renaissance man, our talks spanned the gamut of economics, biology, philosophy, art, authors, etc. I was fortunate enough to know this incredible person, truly a sad day for me as I was always hoping to reconnect with him soon. I will miss my friend and former colleague. Prayers to his family.

My deepest condolences to the Collins family. I will always remember Jim always having a mischievious twinkle in his eye all the time. Such a great mentor and co-worker.

Marcia, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Jim will always be in our prayers. We wish we could attend his service today but Heidi is dealing with Covid. However, we will be making a donation to the Violet Foundation in Jim's memory. Hopefully, we can catch up in the future as we too have lost both Michael and Mark during this and past years. Take care, stay strong!

I had the pleasure of working with Jim at Citi. He is someone you could talk to and willing to listen and help you in anything. He is a truly class act. My deepest condolences to the Collins Family.

Great guy great Citizen and extremely funny enjoyed every interaction I had with him

I knew Jim for Citi, he was a fine fine person and will be missed by all he knew him. My condolences to all.

The Fowler cousins are sending prayers and hugs to the family. A donation was made to the Violet Foundation in Jim's memory.

May God´s loving kindness and comfort help you and your family through this very difficult time. Matthew 5:4
