Read MoreI am so sorry to learn of Jim´s death, and so far after the fact! We were both at Catholic U together, and dated during the 70´s. He was a very kind, spiritual man, and a terrific actor.

Dear Jim Otis Family.... I just now learned of Jim's death. I was saddened. We shared many laughs and I learned a heck of a lot about acting and respect for the craft from Jim when we were in Stage Door for Youth together in our home town in Stamford. His "Fagan" in "Oliver" remains legendary for anyone who saw it. He was one of the kindest souls I've ever know. Jim was one of the "beautiful" gifted souls of the world. My heartfelt sympathies. Rest in peace dear Jim.

James entertained us with his...

Dear Joey,
I was sorry to read of Pat's passing. I hold many fond memories of Oak Hill Street and the fun that we had. I think I have a picture of Pat and my brother Chipper eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on our front porch! I pray that grants you peace and strength in the days ahead.
Fondly,
