Dear Anne,
I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I have such vivid memories of his jovial personality at USF. I loved teasing him and discussing politics. He was such a fine man and such a devoted man to you, Anne, in his days at USF. I am gratified to learn that he was such a good husband and father as well. May he sing with the angels this day.
Yours,
Catherine Neumayr

Dear Anne and Family,
What a shock to hear of Jim's passing! We have such fond memories of Jimmy and have trouble believing he's gone. He was such a gracious and gentle man and dedicated father. We will all miss him, but his gentle spirit that touched all of us will live on in our hearts. Our love pours out to you.

I had the privilege of working with Jim for a couple years starting in 2005. While he was a tough negotiator, he always did it with a sense of humor and complete integrity. I always enjoyed going to the Nike campus and matching wits with such a good guy. He represented Nike well, and I'll miss him.

To My Family,
Life will not be the same without Jimmy. His Service today was Beautiful and he would have been so proud of you Pam for going up and saying what you said. He will be deeply missed. I was so shocked when I heard of the news, and it still has not sank in yet. Jimmy, rest in peace and Hi to your Mom. We will miss you.
Your Cousin,
Kenny Pignati

Though I haven’t seen Jim since our days at Syntex Corp, I remember the laughter and his great wit. I am saddened to hear of his passing. My prayers go out to his family.

My heart sank when I received communications of Jim's death. Most immediately my mind turned to his wife Anne and their three children; and the loss of the physical presence of his love and in return their love for him.
Though I haven't seen Jim since my days at USF, I have such vivid memories of his calm and observing presence at so many events of which I was in attendance (Anne was always at his side!).
My prayers are for Jim, Anne and their children..in complete confidence of the Easter promise that the Love which has conquered death is not gone; but changed.
Our love to the Lagomarsino Family.

Anne and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I have worked at Nike for the past 9 years and had the great pleasure of getting to know Jim over the years. He had such a unique ability to bring levity and humor to so many situations. We laughed a lot! We will deeply miss him at work. I admired his great technical and functional expertise, but more than that I marveled at his love for his family and faith. When Jim talked of his family he had such a spark in his eye and just pure joy in his heart. He knew he was very blessed. He will be forever missed, but I know he will never be forgotten because he has touched so many peoples lives in such a positive way. Jim and I had a conversation after his mother passed away in which we talked about our belief that our mothers were our own personal guardian angels and how that belief helped us through our own grief. Please take comfort in knowing that Jim will be with you always as your own guardian angel and he will always be there in your time of need.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I had the good fortune of knowing him when I worked at USF. He was a stellar student, a talented graphic artist and always lots of fun. I met him as a freshman at Welcome Week and by his sophomore year he was involved in so many activities and programs I often wondered how he got his homework done. I will always remember Jim and his willingness to help with anything. My thoughts and prayers are with Anne, the kids and his family. Such a tragic loss.

I was so very very surprised to hear of Jim's death. He was such a mentor to me while I was at Nike. He never had a sad day it seemed, even under some crazy times we had working together. He always had a smile and was able to share his time and thoughts. He will be missed by the many people he has touched in his lifetime. He was truly an amazing man. My sincere condolences to his family who were the highlight of his life. I feel I know you all from the stories he shared. Best of wishes to his children who carry his dreams forward. Peace be with you all.

It is a such a shock to hear that Jim was so sick and is now gone. He was like a big brother to me in our early years at USF. Jim was always so fun and generous . . . and completely smitten with Anne. My prayers are with Anne and their children in his absence. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

Sometimes, someone comes through your life in short spurts, at extended family gatherings; a Wedding, a Baptism or a Graduation. We were fortunate to be in Jim’s Extended Family and although our visits were sometimes separated by a year or more, at each visit, he greeted you with a big smile, a big hug and sincere warmth, always with an honest interest to get caught up with our family’s current events. He showed genuine love and care for those in his life. We will always remember his affection and pride in his family and his faith. Jim’s passing is our sadness and our loss, but I am comforted by knowing that his God and his Mother have welcomed him home. Peace Be With You Jim and with your beautiful family.

I can not explain the tremendous loss I feel right now. I can only take solice in the fact that I am not alone. Jim has touched so many lives in an always positive way. We just attended his memorial service in Portland, where he has lived for the last 14 years. The outpouring of love from his church, school, neighbor, and work families has been overwelming. I wish to thank you all for all your support to Anne and the family and hope that you will continue to watch over them as time goes on. I am counting on all of you to be there while I can not.
To lose a brother,I suppose, is to lose part of one's self. My brother was my conscience. I often would ask myself, "What would Jim do?" when confronted with a dilema. I know that he will continue to guide me in that way. I just wish he was only a phone call away. But, alas, sadly, he is not. I don't know how my life will be without him, I will miss him so very much. So will countless others, I am sure. Jim, don't know if I ever told you.. I am so proud of all that you have accomplished in the short time you were here, so proud of the father that you are, and so proud to be your brother. Love you Jim...say hi to Mom
This picture shows Jim doing what he did best: being a dad.

Jim, you were like the fourth brother in my family growing up. I am shocked beyond words and very sad to see you leave us at such a young age. I remember one summer you came on vacation with our family to Yosomite while we were in high school. We had fun swimming and rafting. You invented a word on that trip "schmutz". I still use it to this day. You are a kind and caring individual and I will never forget the fond memories I have of you in grammer, high school, and college.

I am devastated to hear of Jim's death. I've only seen him once in the 7 years since I left NIKE, but I will always remember the life and energy and bounce he brought into every room. The world seems a little dimmer now. I'll miss him.

I can’t help but smile when I reflect on Jim’s quick wit and obscure references during meetings or training sessions. It was a pleasure to work with such an intelligent, hard working, caring person during my brief stay in Beaverton. I’m saddened to learn of his loss.

Even though I have known Jim since I arrived at Nike in 2000, it wasn't until recently I was going to be working directly with him. I was really looking forward to learning from him and working under his direction. Also, I recently learned we had a number of similar interests such as classical music, faith, and cooking. Even though Jim is very happy where he is, I will selfishly miss getting to know him better and share in our interests. I am so very blessed to have known him, even though it was only a short time.
