Jim was my district Manger at Thom McAn for several years and was a great mentor in teaching me the skills of how to be a good leader and manager. This was useful to becoming a top Executive and now owner in the Recycling Industry for 30 years. I will never forget his firm handshake and sense of humor and the scent of cigars he liked to smoke. He was a man with many stories and saw him in his movie star roles.

Dear Moffatt family
Just saw this and we offer our condolences. Jim was our dad's ( Domenic Saraceno) District Manager at Thom McAn. He managed the 3 stores on Broadway, downtown.
My memories of Jim, take me back to the annual Thom McAn picnics that he was in charge of. The employee baseball games and I think Jim was the pitcher. I remember that every single year Jim was always thrown in the lake, by the guys!! I know our dad always spoke fondly of Jim and I am pretty sure they kept in touch during the days of the Coffee Cafe after retirement. May he restvin peace.

A huge thanks to my dear good friend Jim. He was an incredible friend who supported me early for political aspirations. He even let me hang huge banners from the side of his coffee shop. Jim was always there - always with a smile and firm handshake. I am so grateful to have met Jim. Amazing memories with him a Red Hill Coffee. Onward, my friend.

I knew Mr. Moffatt as the "Big Wig" for Thom McAns Shoe. He used to come to the Fontana store on Foothill and Palmetto. He was very kind to this young girl back in 1976 and showed me how to have the "window display" look beautiful. My deepest sympathies to his family. Denise
