Not sure what to say?

My sincerest condolences. At a much younger age, our families were close, and my connection to the Nagel clan was deep. Summering together in Long Branch, playing together on the CHS tennis team, heck, going together to the Bronx Zoo as children with Norma and Sylvia. Such a good guy, was truly fun to be around. I´m just so sorry to hear this.

Jimmy was my best friend in high school and co prankster at Clifton High School we were inseparable. We were always at Holsteins ordering the coffee chip ice cream sundaes. We sat in front of his family at the Clifton Jewish Center and his dad always scolded us for talking. Im very sad to hear of his passing and send my deepest condolences to his family. Jimmy was a Gem and I always felt badly we lost touch through the years. Stay Strong life is bittersweet. with a heavy heart Robin

I just happened to see this and am stunned. I am so sorry to read of Jimmy's passing. He was such a charming and delightful chap. His wife Karen and 2 sons are terrific people and I loved them. My deepest sympathy to Karen, Ian and Eli. God bless. RIP, Jimmy.

I count my blessings that my path crossed Jimmy´s and that of his incredible wife Karen and the whole amazing Nagel clan. He radiated kindness and goodness and I will never forget what it felt like to be in Jimmy´s generous presence.

I am so sorry

I knew Jimmy at AU and was at his house that night when Bruce came after the concert. Of course, a that time, we didn't know he would become that Bruce Springsteen.

Our condolences to Karen and the entire Nagel Family. We haven´t seen you in a while but our friendship goes on forever. All of our love to you-Sheri and Lew Finkelstein
