So sad to read this article but glad to have known you both such fond memories of Jim and Dianne Esther Robbins

We are so grateful for all the good times we had together, from our extraordinary meeting through Margaret and Bernard Jones , through our many dinners and giggles, July 4th celebrations on the Cape. Thank you Diane, and much love to you all, Pam and Dave Driscoll

This obituary is a mic drop. What an extraordinary tribute to an extraordinary man who lead an extraordinary life. Sending endless vibes of love and peace to everyone who loved Jim -- especially to his daughter and my treasured friend Joan and to Diane who was always standing next to Jim every time I saw them since we met 28 years ago. I know that proximity truly represented the unwavering support Diane was to Jim throughout their 62 years together right up until he took his last breath.

Offering our sincere condolences. May the God of love comfort your heart and make you firm in your time of grief. 2 Thessalonians 2:16,17.









Knowing Jim and his family for the last 36 year has been a gift. Time with him was always fun and somthing to look forward and I am grateful we could do this as often as we did, but then it was never often enough! Always interesting, always interested in others and life, always accepting with a wonderful smile and laugh. How he is missed, but the memories sustain me at this time. Love to the family.

Jim was a great guy and a long term client who I worked with while I was a Citigroup and now at UBS Financial Services for over 15 years. He was always a pleasure to deal with and he will be missed.
