I never met James but I met a lot of people who knew him in Irvington N Y when I was doing ancestral research.We share ancestors from Ireland.People would seem filled with joy when they spoke of him.I am very sorry to hear of his passing.

Photos prove Dad was always a ham.

A phrase I read long ago comes back to me now. "Death ends a life, not a relationship" (from "Tuesdays with Morrie," I think). Not a day has gone by since June 12th that I haven't paused to think of Dad. From photos as a little boy to later years when he's holding grandchildren. Some memories recall stressful times, but most bring a smile to my face. May I continue to learn from the lessons he modeledgenerosity with time and money, enthusiasm for work and play, and unconditional love to those who need it most. Adieu, le Roi!

Mr. Dinan, as I drove up and down Riverview Road growing up, always smiling and waving as I zipped past. Gave me a job as a starving college student. Fortunate to have had the opportunity to have known not only Mr. Dinan, but the rest of your family. My most sincere condolences to the Dinan family.

My family and I are so sad to hear about Jim's passing. I first met Jim in the early 80's as a new member at Ardsley CC. Despite our 25+ yr age difference, Jim always treated me as a friend and I, in turn, had the utmost respect and admiration for Jim.

In the late 80's, I changed careers and owned a local real estate business. Jim bypassed larger and more established real estate companies to represent his large real estate project, Riverhouse Condominiums in Irvington.

He believed in me and gave me an opportunity to expand my business. I worked tirelessly to ensure the project was a success.. The project was a success and helped propel my business and career

I will always be grateful to Jim for his friendship, his support. and most of all believing in me!!

May he Rest In Peace...

Jim meant a great deal to Swede, golfing, jokes, etc. for many years and Swede has delighted in keeping in touch with him and you as well, Jo.
We are saddened to think he is gone , but as you will do, know he led an exemplary life with a loving family and many dear friends....

So, love to all, be well.

Fondly,

I am very grateful to have known him. There was never a Tuesday that passed that I did not laugh at something he said. He was one of the kindest, funniest, enjoyable people I have been blessed to have crossed paths with. I will miss him very much.

I am so grateful I was able to see you just a few weeks ago, Grandpa. Your kindness, energy, and jokes are qualities that I will never forget. Thank you for making me laugh, feel special, and most importantly loved. I love you.

Uncle Jimmy was a lively soul who always made visiting fun when I was a kid and even when I visited him and Aunt Jo just 6 years ago. I have very fond memories of him. Condolences to Aunt Jo, Susan, Shelley, Jackie, Janine, Jimmy, and Paul.

He did balance charm with directness; what a beautifully written tribute that truly captures his spirit. In some ways, he was larger than life to me because he was the American Dream personified. I admired so many things about Uncle Jimmy, but most of all his community work and devotion to family. The world now has a little less grace.

Love you and miss you already Dad. The outpouring of kindness you will generate will not surprise me at all. Thank you for, well, everything.

Love Always, Sonny Boy
