Dear Joyce, Andrea, Jay & Samantha
I just learned of Jim's passing and was terribly saddened by the news. Jim was one of the nicest, kindest and generous people I have ever known. I have so many fond memories of time spent with Jim and Joyce over the years...always having fun, laughing, drinking, eating (usually at the Blue Bell Inn). My thoughts and prayers are with all of you...Jim was definitely the best of the best.

I had the pleasure of working for Jim from the mid seventies to the mid eighties in Philadelphia. At that time the company was located on Large st. Jim was the nicest employer I have ever worked for. So kind and caring. I was blessed to have had that time with the company. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to his family and friends.

In the early 60's Jimmy and I were close. Out of work at that time I painted
The inside of their first house on Lindley Ave in Philly. Yes ! He paid me for my efforts. Fond memories of those Friday night bridge games. Pony Bottles of Rolling Rock along with Chips and dip. ( Double Dipping allowed at that time)) and many no trump bids without the cards.
