Forever and Always

“James was a tremendous friend and the consummate gentleman. His gift of friendship to me and my family was one of more than two decades. He was a kind man of great wit, wisdom, warmth, generosity and talent in a number of areas. James was a successful advertising executive, entrepreneur, publisher, editor, writer, author and visual artist.

   There is a great sorrow in the loss of a true gentleman and tremendous friend, but, to have had the enormous honor and pleasure to know James over these years is indeed a great gift and a blessing. His memory will live on in our hearts and minds, his magazine will continue to publish, his art will continue to inspire and amuse, and his spirit shall be with us forever. God bless you and keep you dear James.”

             — DAME CELIA LIPTON FARRIS

 

   “I first met Jim 12 years ago when I moved to Palm Beach. My father’s birthday was coming up and I tried to find some contemporary artwork for his new home. As I was chatting with an art dealer, another customer overheard my conversation and told me about Jim’s special abstract art and I should go look at it. Well I didn’t realize at the same time that Jim was also a well respected businessman and publisher of “Palm Beach Society.”

    Upon meeting Jim, I was indeed impressed by his talent, kindness, intellectual and funny personality, needless to say, we hit it off and over the years, became great friends. I never heard a bad word or negative comment coming from Jim — (what a great lesson we can all learn). He always had humor that was special to the occasion. He was a people person writing about people and guess what everybody knew Jim loved and respected him. We will miss you Jim and God bless you.”

                          — PATRICK PARK

 

   “Jim was a kind and gentle man who did a lot of things for the community. Through his “Palm Beach Society” magazine, he provided a forum for many causes and helped innumerable charities raise awareness. This is an important legacy and he certainly will be missed.”

                    — DIANA ECCLESTONE

 

   “Jim was a wonderful man — a good friend — always had a smile on his face and a little story to tell. He will be missed”.

              — RAY AND RUTH PERELMAN

 

   “I have known Jim Sheeran for more than a decade. He was a hard working, creative businessman, whom I truly respected. For several years, I was sure that Jim must have had a ‘twin’ here in town because I rarely went to an event where he was not present.

   Jim was a gentleman in every way, always very complementary of other’s accomplishments while understating his own. He had a very creative mind for marketing. He left his legacy in not only the Society magazine, but also the “Book of Connections,” the “Young Society” and other publications that were appealing to many within the community.

   I will miss my annual summer lunch with Jim. For many years, we would meet during the less hectic times to discuss the comings and goings on Royal Palm Way and the business community in general. Palm Beach will go on, but I’ll miss Jim Sheeran, a fellow businessman and friend.”

                        — DAVID H. SCAFF

 

   “Introspective of “Palm Beach Society” of which he knew so well. He was a private man, but always reached out to you with genuine concern, and advice that was always to the point and very crisp, I may add. I always started with a joke or funny story and when he laughed you can see the warmth inside him that was deep rooted. His talents were vast and I especially enjoyed his columns that dissected. The subject matter was extraordinary literary ease. I will think of him often. And remember his philosophy to live for the day.”

                        — HOWARD RISICK

 

   “In honor of Our Beloved Friend Jim - Empty spots remain in many hearts this day as your charismatic style, sophistication and selfless nature will be sorely missed. Your wisdom, guidance and devotion to the well-being of your community have spread will beyond the pages of your publication and into the minds and souls of those whose lives you’ve touched. We are most appreciative of the many years of generous support you have bestowed upon our organization. You’ve captured our hearts not only as a consummate professional, but a treasured friend - a true Prince Charming of Palm Beach.”

​

    “We are truly saddened by the loss of our dear friend. Jim held our highest regard for his integrity, professionalism, and commitment to this community. He was key to creating defining and maintaining the visions and standards for his magazine and our charitable community. He will be missed.”

                       — YVONNE LYNAM, VAN CLEEF & ARPELS

 

   “Jim Sheeran was a great friend and a person who was so supportive to me both personally and professionally. I will always be in his debt for showing me the confidence and strength born amidst the struggles and disappointments in business to forge ahead and to do so with care, kindness and thoughtfulness. Jim was truly a man who believed and taught me that the greatest gift in life was the journey. I will always be so grateful for his gentle wisdom, listening ears, being a coach, confidante, a cheer leader and such a loyal and giving friend. Jim you will be with us forever.”

                           — KYLE ZIMMER

 

   “There is an old Persian proverb that offers sound advice, even as we traverse the 21st century: ‘He who knows, and knows what he knows, is wise — follow him...!’

   I came rather late to Jim’s small circle of friends. While I had played in many orchestras and even conducted a few, I was clearly short on knowledge and the understanding of the mystery we call Palm Beach. Even a greater puzzle was finding the right program mix to attract the public of this diverse and talented Town to the concerts of its only professional orchestra.

When I was asked to assume the musical leadership of the Symphony in 2004, I was clearly in need of a leader, a model and a friend. Jim was highly respected by my predecessors, the Tighes, and the members of the Symphony Board. They were impressed with his standing in the Town, his public relations acumen, and his knowledge of the key players. Their advice to me: “listen to him!”

   They were right and I quickly became a fan as well as a disciple. When I think of Jim Sheeran on the occasion of his passing, I am reminded again of the Old Persian proverb: ‘He who knows, and knows what he knows, is wise’ — Follow the example!

— RAY ROBINSON, MUSIC DIRECTOR AND GENERAL MANAGER, PALM BEACH SYMPHONY

​

    “Sing No Sad Songs For Me.” Resurrecting — in total sadness — our invaluable friendship and the literary confidences we shared, that, I guess, would have been Jim’s preferred eulogy.

We were more than editor and writer. We “swang” the journalistic bat from the same side of the plate. When he asked me to review Palm Beach Pops concerts some three years ago, we struck a deal. “I’m not your editor,” he insisted. “You write it and I’ll print it.” 

   My greatest compliment came from Jim: “People tell me reading your stuff is like being there.” God Speed, Buddy. We’re all better off having known you and having shared your “Palm Beach Society Magazine” passion. You left an indelible mark. This town can never be the same without you.”                           — JIM MORRISSEY

 

    “Jim was a very special person to me because he always treated me as someone special to him. It wasn’t long before I figured out that Jim’s trademark was treating everyone as special. Jim was a wonderful entrepreneur and went about his work as enjoyment. He helped make Palm Beach a better place with his weekly magazine. He had us all waiting for the next issue to see the pictures of our friends. Now whenever I pick up an issue of “Palm Beach Society,” I will think of Jim and his wonderful kindness to us all. So long good friend, may you rest in God’s peace.”

                        — ROBERT HARVEY

 

   “James Jennings Sheeran was both a gentleman and a scholar who’s dedication to portraying Palm Beach in the most positive light was extremely important to him. Jim never had a unkind word to say about anybody. He had a great sense of humor and was a perfect example of what a Palm Beach gentleman should be. His incredible command of the written word and wit was enjoyed by all of us through his uncanny way of presenting society as Publisher & Editor-in-Chief of ‘Palm Beach Society’ magazine weekly in it’s 53rd year. Jim demonstrated in his gracious manner and style that Palm Beach is the last bastion of civility in todays world. It would be a great disappointment to him if his passing was an end of a era of genuine gentility. I will certainly miss him as will many other who had the honor of knowing such a great man. Jim, we celebrate your life and will think of you every time we open each issue of ‘Palm Beach Society’ in the years to come. Your legacy lives on!”

               — DR. LAYNE D. NISENBAUM

 

   “Jim was a gentleman and a consummate professional. He could be prickly, but that was only because he was a perfectionist. In the end, impeccable manners and a kind heart defined him. I think the word “gallant” describes Jim best.”

        — MARGARET WILESMITH, PRESIDENT, WILESMITH ADVERTISING/DESIGN

 

   “I first met Jim when I opened my store of Worth Avenue. He couldn’t have been nicer or more welcoming to me. His support and kind words have meant so much to my business and to me personally over the years. His presence will be greatly missed.”                — TRACY DARA KAMENSTEIN

 

   “Jim Sheeran bestowed on us the manners of a gentleman. His wisdom and clarity were always reassuring under any circumstances. Jim perfectly understood most about the life in which he was played. He was a raconteur with impeccable wit and he shared his graces generously. His Palm Beach Society magazine, created Flash and Dash with its photo essays and highlighted important philanthropic endeavors. He will be deeply missed for a long time to come.”                     — JAMES R. BORYNACK, FINDLAY GALLERIES

 

   “James will always be remembered by Shirley and me for his caring attitude. He wanted everyone to have a fair and unbiased reputation and ran his publishing group accordingly. He liked to always just fade into the background at events. His Memory will not fade; it will stay in the forefront.”

             — ROBERT & SHIRLEY WYNER, BARCLAYS INTERNATIONAL REALTY

 

   “I will always remember James for his dedication to Palm Beach... its people... its charities... its history. He was an astute observer and chronicled the area and its events with old world flair. I will miss him greatly.”

​

   “It has been my great pleasure and honor to know Jim Sheeran for more than a decade. A gentleman, a friend, a colleague and a true leader in covering the charitable and social happenings of Palm Beach. Jim was a man who had a good word for every one he encountered. His passing represents a great loss to the community and most personally of a long-standing and trusted friend. From everyone at Tiffany & Co., I extend our sympathy to his daughters, extended family at ‘Palm Beach Society’ and to the legion of friends that will miss Jim so very much.”

      — JEFFREY BATEMAN, TIFFANY & CO.

                      — WILLIAM SECORD, WILLIAM SECORD GALLERY

 

   “I first met Jim Sheeran when he was the marketing director of the Pepsi-Cola Company. Like so many others, I was drawn to Jim by his charm, intellect and courtesy. Jim embodied the spirit of Palm Beach and the later years of his life were dedicated to creating and maintaining a culturally rich community. His stewardship of ‘Palm Beach Society Magazine’ was instrumental in Palm Beach County developing a reputation as a cultural destination. His passing is a terrible loss to the area and to the arts in particular. On behalf of the staff, Board of Directors and Orchestra of the Palm Beach Pops I extend our heartfelt sympathy to his family and those who loved him.”

    — BOB LAPPIN, THE PALM BEACH POPS

              — PAUL HENRY, BETTERIDGE

 

   “It is with sadness that I write to you to express my deepest condolences for the loss of Jim Sheeran. He was a true gentleman and was always a pleasure to talk with. He was very consistent in keeping the dignity of Palm Beach society intact. He will be sorely missed.”

                      — CRAIG MILLER, DIRECTOR, GRAFF

 

   “Jim Sheeran was a man of integrity and conviction, who used the pages of his publication to promote the organizations and individuals of Palm Beach who make a positive impact on our community. He was a gracious man, who was outstandingly sensitive and accommodating to the needs of our town. He supported both the long-standing charities and the new ones. Jim instilled Palm Beach with a sense of pride. We will miss him dearly.”

                 — WILLIAM R. EUBANKS

 

   “The American Cancer Society mourns the passing of our friend Jim Sheeran.

  — LOIS POPE

 

    “Many persons do not realize the seriousness of reports in newspaper publications. In the years I had known and admired James Sheeran, he was always very mindful of such ramifications. In every instance when he and I discussed the happenings in both public and private lives, (and there were many), at no time did he ever breach my admonition “not for publication.” Jim will be missed. His reporting and comments were accurate and never was there vindictiveness in any of his writings.

    Space does not allow me to enumerate the details of our long and satisfying relationship and a list of his impeccable qualities and credentials. Others in the newspaper realm should take notice of his abilities and attributes that elevated him to the top of his field. It will be very difficult to find anyone with an equally creative mind and ability to articulate ideas in such a practical fashion as he always did. He was a very good writer and a good man.”

       — ROBERT M. MONTGOMERY, JR.

 

   “James Sheeran was truly an amazingly talented man with an extraordinary gift of making friends with everyone whose lives he touched through the years.

He had a beautiful way of encouraging me in my designs while at the same time keeping me focused on my business. I am reminded of his guidance when I look at the beautiful book of shells I received, wherein he wrote, “Each shell is a glorious tribute to the Supreme Being.” He cared for our spirits and held so many of us close to his heart. Palm Beach has lost a very special person.”

                       —JUDITH GRUBMAN

                  — JASMINE HOROWITZ

 

   “James Jennings Sheeran was the epitome of elegance. He was an artist with words, as well as the sculptures he created. He was an articulate master of the English language, a bon vivant and a true gentleman. He seemed to possess a tough exterior in his role as a publisher, but underneath that was a very soft and kind heart. I loved his writing style, created with thoughtful alliterations and compliments. He knew just about everyone on the Island as well as their intensions. His passing marks the end of an era in Palm Beach, and he will be greatly missed by those who appeared weekly on his magazine’s pages as well as the countless others who read them.”

                     — JACKIE SLATKOW,  SLATKOW & HUSAK PR

 

   “When I first encountered James Sheeran, he was playing the piano at Jan Terrana’s house. I thought he was a professional. “You play very well for a pirate,” I said, referring to his much-noted resemblance to Errol Flynn, and I began to sing along with his Cole Porter. “You sing very well for an opera soprano,” he said, referring to the overblown renditions of most sopranos.

Later, I discovered that he was really a publisher, and he discovered that I was a writer. That began my 20-year friendship and collaboration with this brilliant, magical man, on columns, books and radio shows. It is painful to realize that I’ll never again hear that purring voice on the phone, “How’s everything with Ariane, just perfect?” And before I could complain, he would continue, “Now, here’s the deal...” and outline another genius project. Jim always said he was primarily a businessman, and he may have been a good one, but I knew him as an artist of Da Vinci versatility. He was a sculptor, painter, musician, but most of all he was a poet. Alas, this is not an age of poetry, so he turned his passion for words to his ‘Palm Beach Society.’

   Last summer, Jim was writing a novel and asked me to do a little editing. It was an amazing book from a man who pretended to frivolity, a love story that was probably autobiographical, unforgettable for its depth and tenderness inscribed in that vivid Sheeran vocabulary. It revealed the sensitivity he always hid beneath a tough, Marine-hardened masculinity, always protecting his heart with a bright shell of cynical wit. Jim’s theatrical nature fell in love with Palm Beach, its elegance, glamour and joie de vivre. His magazine and several books were dedicated to honoring and preserving the Town’s special style. In a world reliant on social stature, he used his considerable power to reward those whom he felt deserving - those who were generous, beautiful, gracious, and kind. His dashing presence will be sorely missed.”

    “I have often said that while cystic fibrosis brought indescribable heartache to me and my family. (Our three beloved sons were diagnosed as having this fatal disease) it also brought ONE great blessing and that is the wonderful people I met because of it. Jim Sheeran was most certainly one of those special people. When Jim learned of my work on behalf of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and my determination to find a cure he stepped up to the plate and was ALWAYS there for us. He attended our annual Sixty-Five Roses gala, gave us great coverage and told the story many times with the hope that it would help us reach our goal: FINDING THE CURE. I am sorry that he did not live to see that blessed day... know that it would have given him great joy to write that article!

Jim and I formed a special friendship and shared many things including our love of the poetry of William Butler Yeats. Jim, I hope that you have found the peace we all seek. I, and so many of us, will miss you.”

   “For those of us who knew Jim.... we shall weep. For those of you who never knew Jim... we shall weep for you.”

                     — GINA FRANANO

 

   “Needless to say, I’m still in a kind of fog after hearing about JJS. Partly because I wasn’t at all prepared; partly because I was so genuinely fond of him. I don’t know if you know the details of how my part in PBS came to be, so let me take a moment to tell you.

   He phoned me in Manhattan in the late ‘80s and said that he was looking for a New York editor for the magazine which at that time was called The Palm Beach Social Pictorial. He said that he knew three publicists in New York and that his intention was to get recommendations from all three; interview the three candidates; and make a decision. It seems that, against all odds, all three publicists suggested me - despite the fact that I had never been a “social” editor. “So,” he said, “the job is yours if you want it.” He also said, “I can’t promise you we’ll publish every column that you submit...     and you’ll only get paid for the ones we publish.” I’m proud of the fact that he published every column I submitted -even the 9/11 column that I wasn’t even sure I could write. Whenever he came to New York, it was always a special occasion when he’d call and suggest we meet for lunch or even just for coffee and discuss various aspects of the magazine and the magazine business in general. I think he’d like to be thought of as “a classy guy” - because in a world of fewer and fewer class acts, he truly stood apart. So, if you want a short and sweet tribute from someone who will really miss him terribly, just say that I’ll always think of him as a really classy guy.”

— TOM GATES

 

   “Dear Jim, We will never forget your kindness. When we decided to winter in Palm Beach several years ago, you embraced us like life long friends. Always a gentleman, with the vocabulary of a true genius, you were what makes Palm Beach so special. Style, Class, Charm and a great sense of humor. You set the bar high and we did try to live up to your standards. Till we meet again dear friend. Missing you forever.”

— JANE PONTARELLI

 

   “Jim, Never to be duplicated, Never to be forgotten. You were truly one-of-a-kind. Whether at a dinner party, Gala Ball or just a casual lunch, you never ceased to amaze me, on your take of what was going on. I will miss your devilish wit and charm. A privilege to have been your friend.” 

                        — JOE PONTARELLI

 

   “Jim was a cornerstone of the Palm Beach publishing community for decades. He made an indelible mark on society coverage which he approached with a quick wit and an insightful point of view. Most importantly, he was kind to everyone he encountered, whether or not the courtesy was returned. I miss him already.”

                    — CAREY O"DONNELL

 

   “I will always remember Jim for his incisive wit and wry sense of humor — he was a one-of-a-kind and a true gentleman!”

          — JANE BRANNEKY

 

    “We would like to extend our deepest condolences and sympathy to the family and friends of Mr. Jim Sheeran. We are saddened to learn of the passing of Jim, he was a wonderful man and a dear friend. Jim had an extraordinary sense of humor and always had the ability to make you smile while in his presence. We are thankful to have had the honor and pleasure of knowing Jim. Palm Beach has lost one of their ‘Jewels.’ However his memory will shine on forever more.”

    — JOSEPH D. CINQUE, THE AMERICAN             ACADEMY OF HOSPITALITY SCIENCES

 

   “Jim, We will miss you. Over the years it’s been a pleasure to work with and know such a fine gentleman. We are sure that you are in a wonderful place now and can put in some good words for your friends, who are here missing you. God bless you.”

           — NORMA AND SIMON FIREMAN

 

   “Jim Sheeran — Ambassador of Worth Avenue, Word Aficionado, Author of Palm Beach Power & Glory, Wit & Wisdom, and the clickety-clack of his Remington typewriter have been silenced, and we will no longer be chided or guided, chilled or gilded by our cherished Sheeran whose passion for the written word was infamous. From the olden days in New York City to the golden days in the Palm Beaches, Jim Sheeran and I were always at work and play.

 In the late 60’s Jim, who was active with Pepsi Cola, and I, a radio station owner whose client was Pepsi, often hung out at hot spots like Jimmy Westons.  Later, after we matured to Palm Beach, we rubbed elbows at charity galas while we both played and worked the rooms.

   His outstanding style, professionalism and elegance were noted wherever he went.  I will remember Jim Sheeran for his unmistakable vibrancy and charismatic presence. In a note to Jim, I complimented him on a piece he had written about a Palm Beach resident.  I wrote, “Just a short one… filled with compliments.  I just read the latest issue of ‘Palm Beach Society’ and found your words to be exquisite.You have such a talent for wielding (s) words that carve out the picture you desire.  At the risk of blowing smoke, I want you to know I think you’re a superb wordsmith, a scholar and still my hero. 

   Another hero of mine, Curt Gowdy, was praised by James Jennings Sheeran in ‘Palm Beach Society’ after Curt’s passing. His writing moved me so much, I dedicated it and read his passage about Curt on my radio and TV show.  Jim was always able to express his feelings so appropriately.  They say radio is “theatre of the mind,” but Jim was able to recreate a mood, a setting, an ambiance, a feeling so succinctly.  His was the wittiest of wits, like no other.

This unflappable gentleman, worthy of Palm Beach and all its wonders, always referred to me as “the bird.”  In Jim’s theatre of the mind, quite simply, “the bird” was “the word” for Dick Robinson. I will miss Jim Sheeran’s return to Capistrano.”

                        — DICK ROBINSON

 

   “Jim was a kind, caring, fun and witty Charmer  — a fabulous Gentleman who will be greatly miss
