Condolence: It is with great sadness to hear that Jim, whom I considered a friend, has passed away. I met Jim many years ago when he strated employment at Alternatives, Inc. a non-profit social service Agency. Just a few months agao, I attended his retirement party at Alternatives' Group Home in Ringoes, where Jim worked for such a long time.
Jim was a big-hearted, warm & caring individual.
He was looking forward to retirement so he could dedicate more time to Antiques. Jim will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Condolence:
Sorry to hear about Jim's passing - I haven't seen him in over 30 years but always loved his wit and personality. I was at that time Bill DeLello's significant other. I am sure he will be missed by many people.
