James Marks? Hi... I was at your mom´s funeral (the Quaker one- not sure if she had another); I worked with her at the Paoli library. I didn´t get to really talk as much to you as I wanted so I´m sure you don´t remember me- I was one of the younger librarians at the time, I had dyed red hair and cat-eye...vintage... everything.

Jamie, it's Loraine, do you remember me? My daddy Willard Weiss and our Dad James / Jim, were best buddies. We were just in Philly in July and were going to visit your Dad, but I could not get hold of him. I now know why. I feel sad and send my warmest wishes and I'm sorry for your loss. May your lovely memories comfort you. My Dad passed away 9 years ago, at age 90. Please reach out, if you want to. I remember your mom Merle so well. Lots of other memories.

Just heard of his passing. Although I didn't know him well, this saddens me. I worked at Marks & Co. for over a year in their office in Ardmore and enjoyed getting to know him and learning all about his musical background as my dad is 94 years old, still alive, and plays the piano daily on his grand piano at home. I wish they had had a chance to meet. Sorry for his passing.

Hello to Jim's family. I live at 101 Cheswold lane and often saw Jim when I parked my car in the underground garage; he always complimented my parking skills. I enjoyed his humor, kindness and intelligence. I am so sorry for your loss - he brought energy and a sense of mischief to the world. Meridith Gray
