James Michael Penta

It was very sad to hear that Jim had passed on. I worked with him many years and had some fun times with him. One time we traveled to Chicago to negotiate a contract and, after we were done, we went to a really incredible Italian restaurant for dinner. It really looked like a restaurant straight out of the Godfather movie. After a little while, a large group of people came in and it was the entire Rockies baseball team who were in town to play the Cubs. We met Don Baylor (manager at that time) and several of the players. Was so much fun. He was also a great artist and I still have on my living room wall a beautiful picture of the head of a bald eagle he had done with chalk. Jim will be missed and I send condolences to his family.
