NOTES OF APPRECIATION FOR JAMES P. IAQUINTA 5-20-47 to 2-18-22 Len Iaquinta 2/20/22 1 p.m. Jim believed it was possible to live out and teach the words of Jesus in the contemporary world. His faith was profoundly solid and faithfully childlike. Much of his theatrical work was overtly or covertly hopeful, empathic, evangelical. To me Jim was a bother. Jim was the only male cousin who was nearly my age. We developed a bond that transcended time and place. We could count on each other. His faith inspired me. Jim believed in the power of theatre. Living to perform and engage an audience animated him. Working in theatre and video, he remained true to his dream of centering his life on performing whenever he could. Jim also believed in family. His last wish was to live to take a cross-country Amtrak trip from Chicago to Oregon via San Francisco, traveling along with and picking up on the way cousins and siblings. It wasn’t about him. Rather, bringing us together. Jim loved to give presents as Jim, not just as in his magnificent portrayals of Santa with that convincing costume and beard. It was important to him to express his love in words and deeds. The last items he intended to purchase were Packers Yearbooks for a brother and for a nephew. Jim wanted to share and celebrate the Packers passion the three shared.

Jim arrived at a church Christmas party as Santa. I was pregnant and we had great fun comparing bellies!
