In the half dozen times I met Unca (as he introduced himself), he immediately appeared as a warm, witty, amiable fellow. Quick to take on all topics, he was lover of life. So sad to see him depart so sudden and soon. Wishing heartfelt sympathy to family and friends.

My sincere sympathy to Jim's family. I knew him well in the summer of 1979 and will always love him.

A tragic sudden end to a very funny and interesting man. Jimmy's life had numerous additional paths to follow. He will be missed especially by his adoring nieces of the Bell and Verderosa clans. It is a comfort to know he is now back in the loving arms of his parents in heaven. May he rest in peace.

Jim worked for me when he moved over from PWC to IBM. He was admired by his clients and could always bring humor to our team meetings. My condolences to his wife Deborah and his daughter Evelyn, I know he loved them so and often talked about them.

My deepest sympathies to Jim's family. I worked with Jim for a long time, first at Price Waterhouse, PWCC and then IBM. He was always sparkling and full of life. We always talked about our kids. I will miss his sense of humor and his unique point of view. May his memory be a blessing.

Worked alongside Jim at PW (later PwC) Consulting in Rosslyn, VA 1997-2001. As a Brit coming from London office to a new environment, he was always a welcoming, friendly and so helpful guy. Hadn't seen him for years (since I returned to UK in 2002), but will remember him as one of many great memories of life/work in the USA. Sympathies and blessings to Deborah & Evelyn.
