Dear Patti and Lees Family: I was saddened to hear of the loss of Jim. He was such a pleasure to work with and a truly great man. He was one of a kind. I have fond memories of working with Jim not only at ACE, but on the Miss America Parade. We shared a love of cars too. Although I was not able to be there today for the celebration of Jim's life, I was thinking of your family and hope you find comfort in your memories.

Lees Family: I am very sorry to read of Jim's passing. I will always remember him as a great boss and teacher. I still love to relate the crazy stories about our work on the ACE rate cases and the Miss America Parade. I owe Jim a personal debt of gratitude for re-connecting me with the Boy Scouts of America back in 1986. God bless you all.

Patti; May God give you strength during this very sad time. If I can be of any assistance please let me know. Jim was not only a Friend, but a roommate, a great person to be around and to enjoy a laugh, a funny story, or just spend time with. My Classmate and Brother forever! His kind heart and love for everyone he met and touched was a lasting memory for all who had the pleasure of knowing him. The Greeks say if you speak someone's name, even though they are gone, they live forever. Although his smile is gone forever, and his hand I cannot touch, still I have his memories deep within myself. His memory is my keepsake with which I will have in my heart. God has him in his keeping, until we meet again on the other side! Jim may your memory live forever, I will miss you. Your partner in crime, and your roommates forever. With a great deal of love, Ed Farrell, Jr.

Patti and family, Maryanne and I are so very sad to hear about Jim! Jim was a very, very good person and a terrific person to work for and with - I learned so much from him. He was fair to me and my family during those long rate cases! Unfortunately Maryanne and I cannot make the services. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers - please take care of yourself, Tom Langley

I enjoyed the time I spend with Jim in business and as a friend. Our long lunches were always "educational"!
He had a wonderful sense of humor! I am sorry for his family's loss. He will be missed.

Rest in peace my friend and classmate. We first met in the infirmary at PMC over 55 years ago. We celebrated many good times at PMC, the Army stationed together at Fort Monmouth, ski trips with Patty and Lynn, and visits to your parents' home. You were always a class act. We created many memories throughout the years. I will always remember you. Patty will keep a special place in her heart for you. I know that she has solace for all your kindness and devotion. You passed too young.
