    Jean, so saddened by the news of Jim’s passing. I remember his love of golf from a Christmas party when he and Doug shared golf stories at our table. He was a kind man. Love to you and Taylor.

    Jimmy D loved his music and would alway pick up a dance! He was a lot of fun! Thank you Luanne for the memory!



  34. Derek deGraad on January 2, 2021 at 3:51 pm

    I’m going to really miss Uncle Jim. We all got together every Christmas eve since I was born. He was always such a generous, nice guy. Last Christmas eve at Elissa’s house, the party devolved into an inebriated dance party in the kitchen and Uncle Jim was playing air bass to some 80’s rock classic, plucking imaginary strings "The bass really drives the song, don’t you think?" he said, grooving his head. I totally agreed. Rest in piece Uncle Jim. You were one of the greats. I look forward to meeting up again one day and rocking out again in whatever comes after.

    Jean – I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers go out to you and your family.



  36. Scott T Henderson on January 2, 2021 at 6:04 pm

    I say goodbye to my great friend, my brother in life. A good man has left us. My heart is broken. Sincere sympathy to Jean and the family



  37. Lany and David Ianni on January 3, 2021 at 3:34 pm

    Jeanne, We are so sorry for your loss. Lany and I will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.



  38. roger and susan odell on January 3, 2021 at 7:58 pm

    JimmyD not here? It is so hard to believe. One of the most recent things he amazed me with was his matching knowledge of artists and the music with the hosts on Sirius XM channels, particularly his love for Earl Bailey and Deep Tracks! I will truly miss him, Jean and we will keep you and the family in our thoughts and prayers.



  39. Kip Allen on January 5, 2021 at 5:10 pm

    Jean – Not sure if you remember me but Jim and I worked together at Chase for a while. Been a few years since I have seen Jim but he was a joy to work with. We had a lot of laughs along the way, which was not always easy as we were working with clients who were unable to pay their loans. My memory of Jim is that he liked many obscure blues bands that he introduced me to over the time we worked together. My condolences to you and your family, very sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Jim.



  40. Jerry McDermott on January 5, 2021 at 10:55 pm

    Jean, we were so very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He was a great mentor to me early in my career, and an even better friend. As many note, he loved music and he introduced me to some of my favorites. A high point was seeing Robben Ford live and in person with him out in Henrietta one night. We will truly miss him and share our sincerest condolences.



  41. Jean Dailey on January 6, 2021 at 1:32 pm

    Derek Thanks for the memory! Jimmy D really loved music and dancing! Love you!



  42. Jean Dailey on January 6, 2021 at 1:33 pm

    Thank you Cassidy!



  43. Jean Dailey on January 6, 2021 at 1:37 pm

    Scott Jimmy D is now free of Parkinson’s and is soaring in Heaven with Devin. He will live on in our hearts as a happy loving man ! Think of the happy time you had with him, next thing you know you will be smiling! Jimmy D would have wanted it that way!



  44. Jean Dailey on January 6, 2021 at 1:37 pm

    One of the nicest people I’ve ever met. A great mentor and friend. I continued to learn from him when we worked together at First Niagara. Rest in peace.
