Jim Capozzola

I met Jim Capozzola of The Rittenhouse Review many moons ago at Drinking Liberally back when it was at Ten Stone so over two years ago. I barely spoke to him, but I very much knew who he was. He was always nice and was the author of what is probably the craziest blog rolls ever. Links to just about anything Philadelphia imaginable under the sun [including a link to this site since way back].

I got an email from Susie a couple of hours ago, but just saw it now, saying that he passed tonight after being removed from life support. I knew Jim was sick, but not being more than a casual acquaintance, I didn't know what of nor how sick. He was a part of many people's lives – physically and virtually. He'll be missed by many.

More words from Susie, Noz, Brendan, Duncan, Karl and many others.

    That's so sad, His was the first Philly blog I ever came upon, and was, indeed, the reason I found this one.
    I'd noticed his silence lately, but had just thought (assumed) it was a fairly mundane real life issue intruding, I had no idea :(
    Philadelphia lost a great, and humorous, voice of reason…
