James F. SORRENTINO Sr.

Not a day I don´t miss ya Dad.. I took for granted the wisdom you taught me all those years but I see now. Thank you Chuckles ! Love you Dad ! Kevin

Seeing Jimmy´s smile again reminds me of the close connection I felt to the entire family, and the warmth Jimmy showed every day in his sports store. There is wonderful legacy he has left for the entire community. When my grandson was eight years old he only wanted Jimmy to sharpen his ice skates. My thoughts are with you all in this time to be reminded of his greatness.

James is much missed and will be long remembered for his infectious smile and the example he set for all of us.

He was the quintessential home town sports shop owner, that encouraged every new sports future star. He took personal interest in the children to make sure they were happy with their skate sharpening.

Most of all he was a family man that adored his children. He made his home town of Tonawanda a better place to live.

My grandfather was amazing man. He will always live in our hearts and never be forgotten. We love u poppy and wish u could of stayed longer;)

Kevin and family, Know that they are together and talking. Are thoughts and prayers are with all of you

My deepest sympathies to all of you on your loss. I always enjoyed visiting Jimmy's store on my visits back home to Buffalo. But the memories at Dekdebraun's; especially Saturday nights are still so real! Jimmy was and is the best boss I EVER had!! Gonna miss that smile & "strong like bull!!" My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My deepest sympathy to the Sorrentino family, I will always remember Mr. Sorrentino Has a great man you always was there to support the local youth by sponsoring teams from the area, RIP Sir
