Jim was an absolute joy to wait on at Fraboni's and I will miss him dearly. Since I learned of his passing, I have thought of him daily and wish I could make him one more Hot Italian Beef but with not too much Aus Jus. I wish I could ask about his Mom and how he's feeling and what the weather is like on the other side of the counter and if he had any fun plans for the day. This photo is a great photo and it's exactly how I remember him. Thank you for being a friend Jim.

Just an all round great guy. He could strike up a conversation with anyone. Never missed a day of work. My condolences to his daughters whom he was very proud of.
