Carol and I met Jim on our honeymoon Cruise in 1992. We realy hit it off. What a great story teller. He loved my jokes and I would call him with a new one when I felt it was southern enoff. I use to tell him about my bar b que ribs. one night we had ribs, I called him and then mailed him a cupple of bones. He loved it. Jim was such a gracious host. He invited us down to Palm Beach several times and we had lunch at his Beach Club. Being not "from the manor born" he made us feel right at home....

We feel lucky to have known Mr. O'Brien! He was always involved and excited about Philadelphia and about people. We appreciated his ideas and his advice. He will be missed.

My condolences to Julie and Patrick. I cannot be with you on Thursday, but will be thinking of you. His smile and great laugh will always be with me.

Jim loved theater, cabaret & especially Tony Braitwaite's performances. We were fortunate to share many a joyful evening with Jim & that's the way we will remember him.
