James Ricca

Dear Judy, I didn't know Jimmy well enough to have memories of him. We were very close with his younger brother, Ronnie. He was my brother, Dan's best friend and Ronnie was like another brother to me. I remember Jimmy and the "boys" he "hung out" with on Central Avenue. I still use some Brooklyn-slang. They were nice times. Sadly, Bobby Stanga passed away several years ago, too. I hope you're doing well. Irene (Lindemann-Barbuto)

I was sad to here the passing of Jim last year from Irene Linderman . Jim and I were good friends growing up on central Ave in Brooklyn , I have wonderful memories of Jim and the boys we grew with, Bob Hamilton , Junior Bob Stanger, Paul. what a wonderful group of guys. Jim will be missed by all of us, We all loved him and may rest in peace. Jim Wortman

What a great man

Judy, I told my brother Dan about Jim. He told me he has some nice memories of Jim, as the older brother of his childhood friend, Ronnie. He said Jim was always very kind to him and he liked him. He sends his condolences to you. Love, Irene Lindemann-Barbuto

So hard to believe you are gone James, but I am glad you are out of pain. Always in my thoughts and prayers, Love Nancy

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

I had the great opportunity to work with Jim while I was the General Manager of Menlo Park Mall while he was the operations director for the mall. His office was next to mine, but I hardly ever saw him there as he was always out and about checking this, or meeting with that person, and so on. But what I remember most was his gentleman's approach to dealing with everything and everyone, and I am sorry that his illness and passing has taken that shining example from us.

We are so sorry to hear that Jim has passed. We hope you will be well enough to visit us on the west coast soon. We will keep you in our prayers. Love to you, Cousin Dan (Sonny) and Nina
