Uncle Jim



When I was a kid I remember all of the good times with my Uncle Jim. He had a house in Croton-on-Hudson New York. My Uncle is the type of guy who always gave sound advice, tried to instill good values and was always willing to give you a tip when it came to soccer. Though he was ever the career man he always made time for others.

As I grew older I grew to admire the man who had become such a success. His star rose quickly and brightly at Melon bank and I remember seeing his house in Philadelphia as a teen and wanting to be a success just like him.








Although his life took him on travels around the globe as an international banker -- I alway felt as if when he visited with his family that Westchester was home base. As I grew older I learned to appreciate the fact that he always made time for all of the special events in my life.

As he sits now fighting his final battle with Pancreatic Cancer I pray for him. I love you Uncle Jim.

Uncle Jim passed away on Saturday. We will all miss him.
