Memories and Condolences
for James Carollo

Not sure what to say?





Dear family,
In a search for memories, I found this obituary.
Jim hired me at Motorola back in the 80's, and his choice changed my live.
I will always remember of a fair man and of goodwill, and a caring manager.
All my sympathy to the family.
RIP, Jim

Dear Mary and family,
I only met you once Mary. It was at a Christmas party Jim invited us to. Jim was my manager at Motorola for many years. He was a tough task master that I always respected. He was also a great listener and such a nice guy. He talked about you and his kids a lot during some of our conversations. I was shocked to just hear of his passing. Jim taught me a lot at Motorola. I will miss that he is not here with us anymore, and I am so very sorry for you and your family who loved him so much. I will be lighting a candle for Jim during this very Holy Week in our Catholic Church.
