RIP a good and funny man that gave us all a good laugh, my condolences go to the family of this man. May your soul rest in heaven. 🙏❤️
I’m from Bangladesh. Thank you for making me smile.
Nobody asked… I hope his children and grand children are living a well life
“I am not 98 years old. Holy fu**” is the quote I remember him by. Forever.
Remember what he did with the Dog S***? Condolences to the family. I only knew him from YouTube but he seemed like a wonderful man. He had a great sense of humor.
My deepest sympathies to Jean and family , now you have 2 angels watching over you. I still think fondly of Janice! May the memories of your parents sooth the pain of your sorrow!
Such an amazing and dearly loved man. He made every one’s day happier. We were so blessed to know him! Deepest sympathy to the family.
Jim gave me a job at Nesci Oil back in the 1970’s and always treated me and his other employees fairly. He was a good man. I am sorry for your loss.
101 years old! Who could reach that age with such lucidity! James was a young man in the body of an old man. He finally rests in peace, after 101 years! Deserved rest. God bless him.
A beautiful soul, I loved watching his videos, he will be missed.
Rest In Peace.
Im really sorry for his family
RIP Mr. nesci
Old man with young soul.
Peace from Indonesia
Vale James ♥️ Not a cause for sorrow, …. your passing. A cause for joy and celebration that you lived a good and honourable life. Let’s be full of joy, that you lived.
My condolences!
You had an amazing dad who cheers with joy late in his life! Something remarkable! God bless you.
Rest In Peace.
RIP Sir
You must miss James so much. I did not know him, but I think every person who watches his YouTube videos wishes they had. I must have watched fifty times the video of him guessing his age. I also sent it to countless people who laughed and laughed and laughed. He has brought joy to many during very uncertain times. Bless him, and bless you for sharing this wonderful man with the world. Lots of love…
A young soul gone too soon. Rest in paradise.
Came here after seeing the videos of him on YouTube. Thank you for your service site and may God bless your many loved ones. Rest well
My deepest of condolences man, I know it is hard to lose a father and my prayers go out to your family, may he rest easy and in peace now inshallah.
You were an amazing person. You’ve made millions of people laugh, and millions of days to be gone from sorrow and then flooded with joyfulness. Thank you for what you’ve done and those you’ve helped and made laugh. I may only be 14 and not know you in person but just from a single video, or better yet, a single memory I could tell you were an amazing person, and like many others have said a “young soul in an old body”. I truly look up to you for this and all the empty voided days of those who are stuck in sorrow and despair that you have turned joyful.
Thank you for your service and may you rest in peace and stay gracefully in heaven. My prayers to your family and friends.
May you rest in peace, and my prayers to your family and friends.

Stay young up there in paradise you amazing human! ❤️

My condolences. It’s always heart wrenching to see a person from the best generation depart, thanks for cheering me up when I needed it. Just like a lot of other people said, ‘You were a young soul that left too early.’ Thanks for making everyone’s day brighter. You will never be forgotten and you will always live on in our memories. RIP grandpa, fly high ❤
Rest in peace to a true gentleman and inspiration to the world. I feel truly blessed to have discovered the human presence of this man and utterly inspired by his life. May his light shine through the darkness into the lives of many. Resting where no shadows fall.
What a wonderful man he was. He reminded me of my own grandfather. May god rest his soul.
Just found the two videos of him today (November 11, 2020). He looked like an amazing person, and I’m so sorry for your loss. The YouTube algorithm is truly a strange thing. But, I’m glad it revealed to me a kind soul, and an absolutely beautiful one at that. May he rest in peace, and may you all find the strength to continue, especially through these hard and trying times.
May james Rest Peacefully with his wife in Heaven!
I didn’t know this man who made the world laugh and bravely served his nation but I know he brought warmth and happiness to millions of people who watched his videos on YouTube. Mr. Nesci showed the World that no matter how old you are you should always have laughter in your heart.

I watched the videos on youtube of James and it brought me so much joy. Thank you to his son for.sharing him with us. Sending all our love and respect.
I’m so very sorry to hear about his recent passing. I’m sure he is with his wife and other angels in heaving laugh & having a ball up there. My deepest condolences to the family.
I just watched the “1 – 8” utube video of your Dad.
His sweetness reminded me so much of my mom that he touched my heart and then when I read of his passing in the comments section below your video I was truly hurt by it..
Your Dad was born of the greatest generation that ever lived and in your short video the beauty and integrity of his spirit shines through. You were so lucky to have each other for such a long time, yet I’m truly deeply sorry for your loss.
My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family…
May your precious Dad rest in peace…. 🕇
I am very sorry for your loss. I hope he is in Heaven. The amount of people he made laugh with his videos that were shared on YouTube was enormous. He was a young man in an old body.
Condolences,

My sincere condolences.
I never knew him personally but I have seen his video where he forgot his age.
Seen the video several times now over several months on the internet.
Just now I wondered how he was doing also due to corona going on and sadly saw a comment of another person that did some research that found out he passed away.
Sad to hear.
My sincere condolences to the family. What a great man to be celebrated and loved for bringing joy to people all around the world.

Thank you for bringing me laughs and fond memories of my grandfather. R.I.P James.
We need more people like this man. He seemed like a very nice person and I wish him the best in heaven. ❤️🙏🏻
Known by a million. It’s obvious his humor stayed intact over all those years! May he rest in peace now with the higher powers that created this world.
I was saddened to hear of Mr.Nesci’s passing. My condolences to the whole family. He was quite a man, and left a mark on our hearts, that became a stain, for a stain can’t be so easily removed.
I didn’t know James and I wish I had. I came here after seeing the videos of him on YouTube and read some comments that he died. My deep condolences. May he rest in peace and his legacy endure!.
God bless this man. Just like he made others laugh, he made me laugh too. I hope he’s in a better place.
Sending my condolences. I hope you all are okay, sending virtual hugs 💕 may God Bless his soul and all of you.
God bless his soul and may he smile upon us from heavens. “Time flies by when you are having fun!”
My condolences to the family.
I 8 the dog sh-
Just saw the “98 years old “ video on YouTube. What a great video, made me laugh.
I lost my Dad in 2019 at 100 years old. He was still sharp as a tack and at 98 was still doing construction work and shoveling snow.
I don’t care how old they are, we’re never quite prepared to lose our parents. I wish mine could have lived another 100 years. I miss him so much.
My sincere condolences to your family. He’s still bringing a smile to millions of people faces. What a gift.
Godspeed, James. 🙏🏻 💕
