Inside, James' wife Deborah Lin was the first family member to speak at the service, according to New York Daily News. She said:

My husband was an honest kind and loving man. He cared more about others than himself. He took the time to ask others in the course of the day how they were doing… Jim, one of the things I loved the most was watching you be the father that you were to Michael and Lily… Thank you for the memories of the beautiful life we shared together… I love you Jim and I always will. Rest in Peace.
