JAMES FARLEY Obituary
The Board of Trustees and the entire Hospital for Special Surgery community extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of James D. Farley. Mr. Farley and his late wife, Mary Kay Farley, an HSS Trustee, were generous supporters of the Hospital's mission and wonderful ambassadors for us on their travels around the world. They leave a lasting legacy, including The James D. Farley Family Laboratory for Connective Tissue Genetics, a primary site for scientific investigations on connective tissue disorders, and the David V. Levine MD Chair dedicated to scoliosis research. We are grateful for the widespread charitable work done by Mr. Farley and we extend our deepest sympathy to his surviving children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters. Kendrick R. Wilson III, Chair, Board of Trustees; Louis A. Shapiro, President and CEO; Todd J. Albert, MD, Surgeon- in-Chief and Medical Director, Hospital for Special Surgery

Dear Frances,
How sweet it is to see this tribute to your father. I wish you pleasant conversations with your family as you reflect upon the times that you shared together with him.
One of the ways to measure the quality of a person's life is to review the glistening gems of memories that are stored in the hearts of those that loved them. It is clear that your heart's treasure chest is filled with diamonds for your father.

Dear Farley Family:
I want to send my condolences to you all. I only had the honor to meet your dad once, but I feel that I knew him much better than that would suggest. Through the many stories I have heard, reading his book, and more I can understand the depth of your loss.
I wish you all the best during this difficult time, and may the memories of his life well lived help sustain you in your grief.
Again all take care.

On behalf of the members of the Farley family, I want thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about the death of my father. He was an active member of the communities of Greenwich, CT, Pebble Beach, CA, Hobe Sound, FLA and Harbor Springs, MI. A proud Hoya, ace golfer, father, husband and lifelong Citibanker, Dad accomplished impressive feats in his 88 years on earth. Now his legacy of hard work, devotion to family, loyalty to friends, spiritual determination and razor sharp wit lives in each of us. Thanks again for your kind words.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our Trustee and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

Please know how sorry I am for your loss. May the beautiful promise found at Is. 25:8 provide a measure of hope and peace at this time.
Sincerely,

I worked at Citi for many years and fondly remember Jim and Mary Kay Farley. They were an important part of the fabric of Citi and made it human and fun place to work.
