At a time in my life when I most needed a friend, Jim befriended me one day in the dining hall of Ezra Stiles College at Yale in our sophomore year. For the next 3 years, we ate almost every meal together. Jim's wry sense of humor, down to earth perspective, and infectious smile helped me keep my sanity during that challenging time. I count him as one of my great friends in life. I will be forever grateful for having known him, and I will always remember him.

Amy,
I was so sorry to learn of your father's passing in the Akron Beacon this morning.  I was incredibly sad to learn of Jim's death.  Thinking of you and the kids.

Our last email was so uplifting and positive regarding what Jimmy could do with his new heart-my fondest memories are of us in his basement inBath Ohio-listening to Beatles music and pretending we were the Beatles-! Keeping Amy and family in our thoughts and prayers- always was kept informed until Aunt Cheryl's passing- Ellen Berk Rosenblum-Greenwood Village CO

Amy, we send our heartfelt condolences.  I can picture you floating down the stairs at your beautiful wedding.

My sincerest condolences to the Berk Family. May the God of all comfort (Psalms 83:18)  help you during this difficult time.

Dear Amy: So sorry for your loss.  We have you in our thoughts.  Sylvia Lewis

Mort n I  are so  sorry to hear about JIm passing. He was such a wonderful person he will be missed by all his family and friends. Love you, Mort and Gerry

Knew "Jim" through his mother-in-law (Rita Stein), and father-in-law, Harry....through his struggles, through the heart transplant - which was so exciting - and through the disappointments after.    i pray that the family is even a little comforted because of the love shared.    that, to me, lasts forever.

We are so sorry to hear of Jim's passing.  He was such a kind and compassionate man.  I have many memories of sharing carpooling duties with him when trying to get the boys to MBA on those early mornings.  Amy, Jamie and Melanie - you are in our thoughts and prayers.  Jim, you will be missed.
