  James and I met at Bronx Center Stage in NY back in 2002 in a new Directors Series. We got along instantly and from there, came a very long, loving relationship. James was a wonderful actor and singer and he did everything with the utmost confidence. Even if a role wasn't right for him, he still went out for it with the belief that he could nail it. His confidence and hustle were very inspiring to me in my own career. I had the joy of sharing the stage with him for many years. We got very close to each other's families, attending holiday and birthday events and it was clear that there was so much love for each other and all in our circles. He and Madeline even drove down to attend my mother's funeral and James gave a beautiful speech about his relationship with my mother. James had a deep and genuine love for many people - cast mates, patients, clients and of course, his friends and beloved family. I miss our conversations and his enthusiasm about upcoming auditions and performances. I am so glad I did communicate with James several times before his passing. I will continue to miss him and I pray that he is resting peacefully in God's presence and entertaining all the spirits in Heaven with karaoke and Shakespeare! Love you, James!

  Jim and I were neighbors and friends when we were teenagers. He was so much fine to be with. We spent hours listening to Jimi Hendrix and the Crazy World of Arthur Brown. We would wave goodnight to each other over the hedge separating our houses. Good night, Jim. Robin Sousa Whalen.

  Jim was my neighbor for over 12 years. He would always look out for the other tenants. He'd bring in packages, leave the porch light on if he noticed one of us weren't home yet. He was always working. No matter the weather or late shifts,etc. He'd always wave hello and he was quiet. He'll be missed in our building. He and I talked about acting alot because I was originally from SoCal and I used to work in the entertainment industry. He would tell me how his auditions went. Acting was always his first choice of career. He loved performing in Christmas productions and Shakespeare plays. He also did some extra work around Rhode Island and Boston. Rest in peace, Jim. Chris your former neighbor

  I enjoyed Jimmy's company at family gatherings. He always had an upbeat and friendly demeanor. Having moved away, I've not gotten to see him in several years but I hold warm memories of spending time with him. My condolences to his surviving family.
