I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I knew him in grade school and some in High School in East Hampton. He always was happy go lucky. He was the life of any party. 

I want to extend my deepest condolences to his family during this difficult time and hope you can all heal quickly from this tremendous loss. 

I am shocked to learn of Jimmy's passing and unfortunately we had not kept in touch enough since he attended my wedding in 1996. However, I had the great pleasure of spending a lot of time with Jimmy in East Hampton over the summers during our crazy teen years - dirt bikes, cars (I still remember his VW GTI) , parties, fishing (buckets full of snappers and blue claw crabs) and just hanging out. He was sooo funny, so kind, full of life and and just a blast to be with - he knew how to live. I will really miss you Jimmy.

I'll always remember the fireworks you set off one 4th of July.  You made my kids so happy.    You always made me laugh,  I'm going to miss that, and really going to miss you period.   Rip! 💔💔

Believe it or not I had the privilege of meeting Jim and Pam as guest at my Airbnb.   They like many of us need a place to relax and unwind so they stayed a weekend.  Well in no time we were sitting at the fire pit listening to music and enjoying a great night.  Fortunately for me they decided to come back again a few weeks later for Jim’s birthday weekend.  Once again wonderful time sitting outside at the bon fire talking about families and little things that still meant a lot. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to have those moments with Jim.  

Jimmy and I go way back to high school. We hung out together a lot in our senior year and later worked at the same estate. He has always been a great friend. I will never forget he recently sent me a copy of his family cookbook from their seafood business from back in the 1940's.  I miss his wit and his kindness. May you rest in eternal peace Jimmy. 

Pam, Amanda and Jimmy
May the love of God surround you all now and forever. 
Our deepest sympathies, 
Eric, Lisa and Caroline Brown

Jim was always so upbeat and that smile could light up a room. He will be missed by so many that knew him. Sending my prayers and love to his family at this time of sorrow.

Very sorry to hear of my classmate Jim ‘s passing.
He was a very nice person. I am sending his wife and children and family sympathy and love at this very difficult time.

Jim was alway fun to be around growing. Up went to senior prom. Together. We had a blast he was in. A white tux an pink bow tie thanks for all the fun times in the Hampton's.
