Nancy and Family,

We were so sad to read about Jim´s passing. Although only casual friends and antiques colleagues we always appreciated the times together. Always a fun discussion with a man of many interests and opinions. He was a good and unique man and will be very missed. All of our sympathies and the best to you and your family in this difficult time of grieving.

My heart goes out to Nancy and the kids. Jimmy and Nancy have been our friends and colleagues since the early 1970s. With my late mother, Peggy, we enjoyed countless visits to their home on Delancey Street in Philadelphia and here in Connecticut. We shared common roots in Philadelphia and with Germantown Academy, where Jimmy attended at the original campus, and me in Fort Washington. So many fun memories are coming back to me, of great objects and the numerous friends in common from the "antique" community. Jimmy and I had a common bond in our love of great Windsor chairs and traded many back and forth over five decades. Jimmy was truly an iron man, and he waged an almost super human battle with cancer over so many years. He was a courageous fighter, but always retained his irreverent sense of humor and class. When I think of Jimmy I recall experiencing some of the most intense and deeply physical laughter I have ever experienced. Joy. Our world has lost a very bright star.
