I started at McCalls the same year Jim moved to Manhattan. He taught me so much. He wasn't only our supervisor but as a watched him he was often a father to many. It seemed Jim always had a practical joke up his sleeve. Everyone will miss him. Definitely a good man.

sorry for your loss. Jim was a very special friend, he was like a father to me. I worked with him for 3 decades. We had a special connection and did some crazy things together. He loved his family and they were his world. A great man has passed this way.
So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was like my second Dad. I worked with Jim at McCall's from 71 to his retirement. When I managed the printing dept, Jim taught me everything he knew about printing. What a blessing to have known and worked with him. I now treasure the last phone call I had with Jim last December after receiving a Christmas card from him. This is a great lose to a lot of people. You kids and Fannie were his world and he was so proud of you.
