My late husband, Norman, and I met Jacques, Sammy, Albear and Mama in the mid 1980's when they "won" our agency's advertising services through The James Beard Foundation. (Or that's how the story goes.)

Over the years, we spent wonderful hours, meals and memories together. Being with them was like walking into a hug.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Jacques. And I am not surprised so many other people feel the same.

Over 20 years ago when I was first starting out as a restaurant publicist, Capsouto Freres was a client I got to work with. Jacques' kindness, generosity, warmth, and sense of humor made a lasting impression on me. I'm still deeply touched by his invitation to me to the restaurant's Seder just after I'd had a death in my family. "You will have family on Passover," was what he said. He had called to personally express his condolences. I'm so grateful to have known him.

Working with Capsouto Freres and its unique food, wines, atmosphere, and community were one of the big reasons I fell in love with this work of restaurant PR.

My most heartfelt condolences to Jacques' family and friends. I know he touched many and he will be greatly missed and appreciated.

A Good friend for over 35 years! He will be missed! We drank lots of wine together over the years. He lived his dream of making his own wine in Israel!

A great friend who helped to restore our life here after 9/11. He and Albert worked tirelessly with our students at NY Restaurant School to feed the first responders that same week. He reinvented himself as a major vintner later in his life. Always had time to answer questions and give help. My sincere condolences to Sami and his family.
