James Leo Valli

Irma:
I was so sad to hear of this news. I miss Cafe Blue, and both of you. While I was an infrequent patron - it was always my favorite restaurant in town due to the warmth and sincerity of You and Jim. He will be sadly missed by all of us foodies.
Take Care!

Oh, My Valli Family!
I am so sorry to hear about Jimmy.
Please know that you are all in my prayers and thoughts.

Dearest Irma and family. My husband and I, and numerous friends were happy patrons of the first Marco Polo on Northrup. It was such a happy place, with great food, and the cassata cake made by Jim's mom.

Then we became vacationing customers at both Marco Polo restaurants in AZ, and at Cafe Blue as well. Even being regular customers while living in AZ for four years in the '90's. ...... No restaurant in the world could match the love and ingredients of Jim's and Irma's delicacies....

Dear Ginny and Babe,
We knew Jimmy right here in KC. We had him to dinner shortly after we settled here. He was working at Fanny's then. I will remember him for his energy, sweetness and cooking. My family and I feel your loss and are keeping you all in our prayers each day.
Love, Suzi, Dave and Liz

One of our clients who became a dear friend, with much love, Larry and Bernie (Woodesign)

Donna, et al the beautiful Valli Family,

What a great calling in life to be the oldest brother in The Valli Family. Jimmy wore that distinction with the honor reserved for the finest of men. May the Peace and Love of God and the comfort of your friends be with you all during this time of mourning. I sincerely regret that I cannot be there with you in STL at this time.

To the Valli Family:
May God be with you in your loss.
We are all thinking of you and keeping you in our Prayers.
