Uncle Jim...miss you very much! xxoo Karen

I was sorry to hear that Jim had passed away. I have only good memories of him. He was always a gentleman with a great sense of humor, and treated everyone with kindness. He was so smart, yet humble. My sympathy goes out to his family and friends for their loss, but we also celebrate a life that was well-lived.

To Janet and the wonderful Pignataro family,
I am so sorry for your huge loss. Jim was truly an exceptional man and you were everything to him. Your loss is felt by so many, yet so many great memories. Thank you for sharing him with us.
Emerson's success poem only begins to tell Jim's story:
"To laugh often and much
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn appreciation of honest critics..."

Thank you, Jim...

Dr. Pignataro and family, just a note to convey our condolences to you and your family on the passing of your father. May God give you strength to endure and comfort you during your hours of sorrow is our continued prayer.

I met and worked with Jim back in the late sixties when we both worked in Buffalo, NY. My first impression (and one that I always came away with) was that he was one of the most brilliant and enthusiastic people that I had ever met; at the same time, he one of the most down-to-earth and genuinely funny people I had ever encountered. And he was intensely proud of his family.

Our paths crossed occasionally in Huntsville and he was always cordial and remained absolutely genuine....

I did not have the privilege of knowing Jim, yet wish to extend my sincerest condolences to his many family members whom I know. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jim will be sadly missed by all of us who have know him over these past 40 years...Edna our prayers are with you during this difficult time....love and God bless. Joyce Blacklock and family

ednba as theJim was a true and loving friend for 45 years. When our daughter Judy moved to Huntville,Jim and Edna "adopted" her and made sure that she ad some suppot in her new town.Over the years Judy and her husband Joe hve looked upon Jim and Edna as their second set of parents.For that we are grateful.

Jim was everything a friend could be, always thoughtful, caring and helpful. He will be missed.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
