Jim was truly exceptional at what he did; he knew the furniture industry inside and out. I had the privilege of working closely with him for several years, and our professional relationship was unlike any other. He wasn´t just my boss, but my friend and like a brother to me. I learned a great deal about furniture from him.
We worked hard, but we laughed even harder. He made coming to work something to look forward to, alongside the great team we had at Finger Furniture. When I think of Jim, it´s always with a smile - and often a laugh - remembering the many unforgettable moments we all shared in the office.
"Spezzazza" (yes, that´s what I called him); you will be deeply missed and fondly remembered. RIP.
My thoughts and prayers are with his loving family.

I am sorry to hear of Jim´s passing. We had some great times together. Jim was a voice of support for me in some difficult times. My memories of Jim will stay with me for the rest of my life. Jim lived a good life and has much to be proud of.
