James R. COPPOLA

Dear Josie, I was so sorry to hear of Jim´s passing, and did not know until almost a year had past. Knew no details, no one I knew ( most gone ) said anything to me. Am out of the loop. But was so distressed that I wasn´t at the funeral. Had no phone numbers. Still I want you to know how highly I thought of him. Jim was always a gentleman, and a truly good guy, and that came through. I regret that circumstances prevented me from sharing my condolences at the time, but please know I keep him and you in my prayers. Donna Kelsch

Dear Josie, I know time has passed but I'm sending condolences now, as I hadn't known of your husband's passing. Mom would have made sure we paid our respects in person. With love, Vicki

Dear Josie,
I am so sorry to hear about Jim´s passing. I did not know until Barry recently got in touch with me and mentioned it. I get no newspapers and am really not in touch with anyone in the original group. Wished I had know, would have been there for the Mass. So now I´ll have a Mass said for him at my parish ( Immaculate Conception in Ransomville ). So many times I wanted to call but didn´t have your phone number. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim was a wonderfully kind person.

Judy and I were saddened to learn of Jimmy's death while I was in Wisconsin and unable to personally express our sympathy. Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss.

Josie, Don, Dominic and Samuel, I am very sorry for your loss. I worked with Jim at Getzville Pharmacy first as a Pharmacy Intern and then as a Pharmacist (1980-1984) before going to graduate school. Throughout his life, Jim was a dedicated Pharmacist and a loving family man. A few weeks ago we were talking and Jim was reminiscing about picking up his grandsons from school and how they now took care of him (cutting grass and motivating him to do his PT). He spoke lovingly of Josie and how she took very good care of him and how proud he was of Don. My prayers will be with your family.

James was my pharmacist for several years at the Getzville Pharmacy. He always had a smile on his face and a song in his heart! He truly brightened any day no matter! So very sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Barbara Sanchez, Ardmore, OK

So sorry for your loss. Sending my prayers.

I met Jim in 1952 when we entered Pharmacy School together and have been friends ever since. My deep condolences to Josie and family. I´ll kiss my friend.
