I'm just amazed at Jimmy's and Toni's incredible accomplishments. My mom (Dorie) and dad (Ted) were high school friends. My four sisters and I would pile into the car and visit the family. If you can imagine 10 girls and me, the only boy, wrestling around outside and having a ball while our parents were hanging out. Toni would put on a fantastic spaghetti dinner. Last time we visited them Jimmy took my dad and I around to see his work on some apartments. I do believe it was during the time right at the beginning of his real estate empire. Congratulations, Jimmy, on a life well spent. I will never forget you and your beautiful family.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Jim. He was a good man and was nice to all the kids on the avenue. When he and Toni would have parties, my cat would always go say hi and Jim would always give him a treat. I'm sure that he and my mom (Lois Kelly) are telling stories from the adventures on the avenue and laughing so hard that they cry.
Goods speed Jim

Our Uncle Jim was so full of love for life and family! His smile and laughter were infectious and he brightened every room. Although we never lived nearby, I'll always remember his thoughtfulness and how he never failed to bring me a new rock or crystal for my collection when I was young. I cherish the memories of the wonderful days we got to spend with him and look to him as an inspiration for living life to its fullest!

My Grandfather was one of the most important men in my life. He was solid, and ever present. He was stoic but not cold. He was an ambitious dreamer who loved creating. He dreamed big! He loved big!
He was generous and charitable. He always tipped servers 20% 30%! Which, as a long time server, made me happy. He was deeply devoted to his wife, friends and family. He had an easy, relaxed demeanor but was not lazy. He lived and let live. He said only kind things. There is a way his presence laid a foundation of support for our whole big-giant family without breaking a sweat. I remember him always smiling, telling stories and laughing so hard he could barley get all the words out of his mouth.
He loved babies and children, he had a soft spot for the underdogs of the world. He was a proud man without the need to flaunt himself. Through example, he taught us how to stand tall. That said he loved his bling! Grandpa wore beautiful jewelry and had great style! He was sort of a mythical creature, a rare breed of Man we dont see very much anymore...The world lost a giant, may he rest in a joyful peace.
❤Love you always, ❤Grandpa❤
Until we meet again...

Lando, sorry to hear of the passing of your brother Jim. Sadly I didn't get to know him. He sounded like one heck of a craftsman. He along with the rest of your family are a tribute to your parents who came to this country to make a better life. He is with them again. I hope your memories will aid you in dealing with the loss of your brother. Best wishes to you and your family, Paul Pagliaro
