Not sure what to say?

James Halbleib was more than a mentor and boss to me-he was a true friend and a guiding presence. His wisdom, humor, and unwavering dedication left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him. The time I spent working alongside him, and Laurie, was filled with both challenges and triumphs, and I´ll always cherish the lessons he imparted during those years. Jim´s passion, not just for his work but for his family, was inspiring. He brought energy and compassion to everything he...

I have some tapes of Jim singing and playing music his children might enjoy.

Happy 60th babe.The celebration won't be nearly as exciting without you but you are celebrated. Cheers my love.

Jim was an amazing guy who had so many interests that I could never keep up with them. We knew each other through his work in the insurance placement world but despite all of the long hours and difficulties, he was always focused on his family. Jim played a mean guitar (plus many other intruments) and his renditions of Beatle tunes were too good to be true. Jim, you will always have a special place in my heart, good guy, good father, good friend.

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Jim to cancer. I thought the world of Jim! I remember him fondly for his humor, his enthusiasm for life, his love of family, and his passion for the business. I ask God to comfort Jim's dear family and friends....that God will strengthen you in your ability to go forward with all the best Jim left behind with you.

Jim...or "COOP" as he wanted me to call him when I was a young boy will be missed dearly. I have many fond memories of Christmas, Thanksgiving and family gatherings where Jim would pull out the old guitar and play all night long. As a young boy, I always requested Jim to play Rocky Raccoon by the Beatles and he would never let us down. I will never forget those good times!

Love ya Bro!!

Lives of the good ones ripple far beyond a personal circle. During a garage cleanup I chanced upon a 1969 (PA) boys school yearbook inscribed with a note of encouragement by a high profile senior, Jim Halbleib, to a nondescript underclassman. It was a thoughtful gesture well appreciated ...then and now.

So sorry to hear about Jimmy. I remember when we took care of him and John after their father passed away. Our children, especially Mike and Fred, really enjoyed those memories. We extend our deepest sympathy to all the family. Our love and prayers - Helen Bennett and family
