Loved Jim a master who made. Everyone play better a rare gift. RIP my friend
I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear about Jim's passing. I've known Jim since we were in school together at the University of Miami (I accompanied his senior recital) and was so proud to have him as a valued colleague and member Orchestra Miami. I'm heartbroken for you, his family who I know he loved more than anything in the world. I know the choir of angels will be serenading Jim as he arises to heaven. With my deepest condolences, Elaine Rinaldi, Artistic Director, Orchestra Miami
Thank you for believing in me more than I believed in myself. You helped me prepare for getting into music school, and got me through my first year. My teacher, my mentor, my friend, you will always be missed.
