James Parker Finkle

He was such a wonderful human being and he is missed every day

One of my fondest memories of Jim was on a trip to Ireland, sitting in a bar at the end of a long day of solving international problems and enjoying a local libation. A true gentleman, an able negotiator and my friend.

Neighbor for 28 years and honestly never met anybody better. Gonna miss ya

Nancy and family

I am just heartbroken for you. I am so, so sorry. Jim was one of the nicest, kindest, beautiful men I ever met in my life. I remember the day he came in for his interview and he had all of us at hello. Such a beautiful smile.

My only regret is I never got to see him after his retirement party.

God Bless you and God Bless Jim

Jim was such an incredible individual who was smart, funny and cared for the work he did and those he worked with. I had the honor of serving with him on the boards of both Wine America and FIVS. He will be missed but his presence will alway be felt. Caroline Shaw (Sonoma, CA.)

I worked with Jim for many years on behalf of the wine industry. His dedication and "can do" approach made him a leader among his co-workers. His ability to build coalitions was truly legendary. I will miss him on both a personal and professionsl level.

Please accept our sincere condolences on your loss. Jim was a truly great and wonderful person and we will miss him. I have also informed Josh in Pakistan and he too sends his condolences.

It is so hard to understand why this happened but hold close the good memories and the knowledge that you were so very loved by him.
Love you, Nance. We'll talk soon.
