Oh my goodness. Jimmy, as we kids knew him, was the son of our Rabbi, Sidney (I believe was his 1st name) Regner who was our Rabbi at Temple Oheb Shalom, of Reading, Pennsylvania at which I attended religious school in the years in which we lived in Reading (from about 1944 to about December 1950), when we moved to the town in which my father was raised, Sioux City, Iowa).

I remember Jim and my many trips to Hawaii for Revlon training. We had tremendous attendance from beauty advisors and retailers and he wanted everyone to know Revlon well and sell lots! Good times.

Jim was a colleague of mine at Revlon, his length of service there being a testament to his sound business acumen and excellent commercial sense, within a very demanding culture of never-ending change. Aside from being a good friend, he was a mentor and we both shared many a glass and laughs together - above all, I knew him as a genuine, decent person. Heartfelt condolences to his family and of course to BJ, whom we met during their cruise thru Vietnam and into Singapore not long ago.

I am saddened very much to learn of Jim's passing. Jim, you introduced me to Hawaii and for 17 years I was happy to do the Revlon raining for you and for your Beauty Advisors. We had a lot of fun and great memories and great food.
RIP, my dear friend.
