James Frank Bollini, aged 85, passed away peacefully in Salisbury, MD during the early morning hours of October 12th. Born and raised in Torrington, CT, he was the son of the late Hugo and Mary Bollini. He earned a BS in Economics from Villanova University, after which he served his country dutifully as a Captain in the Army while stationed in Korea. In 1970, he started his own Executive Search firm, specializing in sales and marketing positions within the information technology industry until his retirement in 2017. A beloved family man, he was an avid bird watcher, an Audubon member, occasional consumer of martinis, and a dedicated fan of the New York Yankees and Villanova Wildcats. He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Nancy (nee Reynolds), sons Nicholas (Stephanie) and Peter, and his grandchildren Isabella, Gabriella, Julia and James. A funeral mass will be held at St. Mark's Catholic Church on Friday November the 22nd at 11AM, with his internment to follow at 2PM the National Memorial Cemetery at Quantico. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the National Audubon Society (https://www.audubon.org/ways-to-give ), American Kidney Fund (https://www.kidneyfund.org/) or the Dementia Society of America (https://www.dementiasociety.org/donate). Matthew 25:23 "...well done good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master."
