Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. My husband and I had shared many fun times with Jim and his finance' Diana. This is such a loss too soon for Diana and Jims family. He was a such a wonderful man with a kind heart and happy to help anyone he met. We will miss him and keep him in our hearts with our fondest memories. May he now be resting in peace.

My deepest sympathy to the Vallone. Jim and I were Cheektowaga Town Judges at the same time. Jim presented me with a crystal gavel with my name engraved on
It. It´s on my desk in my den. It´s beautiful.
