Sincere condolences to the family of James Puglisi from the coworkers of niece Janet Kunkle at the State Medical Board of Ohio.

Natalie, Toni, Pam and familes,

I just learned of "Pappa Jim's" passing today in the paper. Our thoughts and prayers are with you are your families. The love and support you have in your family will guide you through this difficult time. I will always cherish the love, fun and laughter within your family when I visited your home. These are very special memories.

Uncle Jim-I will very much miss your fantastic sense of humor, quick wit and how you always spoke your mind. It meant so much to me how you were always such a fantastic 'borrowed' Papa after I lost my own too young. I will always remember the fun dinners that you, Aunt Jeanne, Dawn and I got to have during my few months in Columbus. You will be missed! Love, Mindy

My heart will miss your presence in our lives. Papa Jim was a true gentleman and a perfect example of old world charm. I have used Papa Jim as a role model of hospitality and good manners for my own son and even my dear husband.
Rest in peace Papa Jim. You will be missed.
Love,
Tracey & Randy Willaman
Lisa, Joseph and Rebecca

So very sorry to learn of Mr. Puglisi's death. I always called him Mister as he was my boss when I worked for him at the Juvenile Justice center in downtown Columbus many years ago. He was the person who encouraged me to play golf. He told me one day" It's better to have the ground under your feet than the kitchen floor". He was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed.
