Condolence: So sorry to learn of Jim's passing a couple of years ago! Jim and I were tennis buddies 30 years ago. We won the Mamaroneck Open Doubles tournament in 1983. He was a great person and he and Ceceil were an important part of my early life in NY. Best wishes and rest in peace friend! Kind regards, Peter Barrio

Condolence: I think you should stick with the fnrieds who you can trust and who will stand by you when you're going through a tough time. And if they try to approach you, you should let them know how you felt when they didn't make an effort to comfort you or give you any words of wisdom about coping with a loss.

Condolence: Jim and I shared many good times over the years and I appreciated his friendship and his business advice. I will always remember our Friday afternoon discussions at Red Lobster, our sales meetings and after he left SLBA our short get togethers in NY. His ever present sense of humor was always welcome and enjoyable. I will miss him but will always remember the great times we had together. Cecile and Family, my condolences and prayers are with you.

Condolence: Jim was truly a good person and I am glad that I had the opportunity to know and work with him over the years. I will always have good memories of him and what more can one ask of this world? He will be missed.

Condolence: Jim was always a bright light and a joy to be around. I was blessed to know him and call him friend. He will be missed. My thought and prayers are with you.

Condolence: Jim was a great person and one of the funniest people I've ever met. I had the privilege to work with him for many years at the Bali Company. I am very saddened to hear of his passing.

Condolence: Dear Cecile,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We were very saddened to hear of Jim's passing. He was and will always remain my friend, colleague and tennis partner. We had some great times together growing up in the business. On the courts, I can count on one hand the number of sets I won in all the years we played together but we always enjoyed our time on the courts. I still have the tennis shorts he gave me for helping with the move to Bridgeport. I know he fought hard to beat his illness and I admired his strength and determination; his reaction to adversity gave me strength. He was a good husband, father and friend. We will always remember him fondly. May God bless all of you, and may Jim rest in peace.Dan and Leslie
