The Recurring Dream Foundation (RDF) is dedicated to memory of James William Esoldo. His untimely death prompted the founding of the RDF to reflect his personal ambition and passion for music, and create positive opportunities for those interested in pursuing their musical dreams.
Jim was a man loved by many, for his exceptional character attracted and left marks upon those who met him. Upon graduation from Newburyport High School's Class of 1993 as a highly regarded student, Jim proceeded to study Biochemistry at Binghamton University. Upon graduation in 1998, he embarked on a career in pharmaceuticals. Jim possessed a unique view of biological processes which made for interesting conversation amongst his peers and also fed his talents in the culinary arts. Complimenting Jim's multi-faceted personality was a legendary sense of humor.
Jim also possessed an incredible and undying love for music that lives on through the RDF. Proficient at both the guitar and drums, he performed in numerous bands; in each project, he proceeded with admirable energy and enthusiasm. He was known to research and purchase the best gear available, at any cost, and put it to good use. With music, musicians, and musicianship often being his favorite topics of discussion, Jim could delve into remarkable detail concerning his favorite recordings and albums, often enlightening and intriguing those who had the pleasure and privilege to converse (and sometimes debate) with him on such matters.
A great void is left with the departure of our dear friend. It is our responsibility, as his friends and family, to carry on the devoted musical conviction that was his life, and spread to others his love for music and the opportunity to create and develop musically.
Thank you for visiting our website and taking the time to understand a cause so dear to our hearts.
Sincerely,
Friends of Jim
