James Bollini Obituary

October 2, 1939 – October 12, 2024
James Frank Bollini, aged 85, passed away peacefully in Salisbury, MD during the early morning hours of October 12, 2024. Born and raised in Torrington, CT he was the son of the late Hugo and Mary Bollini. He earned a BS in Economics from Villanova University, after which he served his country dutifully as a Captain in the Army while stationed in Korea. In 1970, he started his own Executive Search firm, specializing in sales and marketing positions within the information technology industry until his retirement in 2017. A beloved family man, he was an avid bird watcher, an Audubon member, occasional consumer of martinis, and a dedicated fan of the New York Yankees and Villanova Wildcats.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Nancy (nee Reynolds); sons Nicholas (Stephanie) and Peter; and his grandchildren Isabella, Gabriella, Julia and James. A funeral mass will be held in late November, with his burial to follow at the National Memorial Cemetery at Quantico.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the National Audubon Society, National Kidney Fund or the Dementia Society of America (or the Villanova NIL fund so they can find themselves a point guard).
Matthew 25:23 "…well done good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master."

Over 55 years I have had the honor of knowing and loving both Nancy and Jim Bollini. Jim was a fine man, and I liked him from his first falling in love with Nancy.
