Dear Mrs. Fulciniti:
I was so sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. He was a great man.
I worked for him at Weirton Steel. He was the kind of guy that
you didn’t work for him, you worked with him. That type of guy.
He was a long-time friend of my Family, (John Sisinni), my Dad.
They grew up together in Follansbee and were friends for years.
When I got hired at Weirton Steel, and I told my Dad that I would
be working for Jim, he was so happy cause he knew Jim would
be good to me and he surely was.
He always had a big smile and a friendly “Hello”, and I will
miss that. I know what a deep loss and horrible blow this is for you
and yours, and you and your family are in my prayers tonight.
