In Memoriam

MARILYN JALINSKI

DIRECTOR OF FIRST IMPRESSIONS

As our director of first impressions, Marilyn set the tone of the firm to treat clients like members of the family. She was always the first one to welcome you to the Jalinski family from the first time you walked in the office. In addition to answering incoming calls, directing the calls to team members and greeting clients, she assisted in scheduling and greeting clients. Prior to joining JAG, Marilyn was an office administrator for over 30 years of customer service experience. She also spent 17 years with America’s Keswick, a powerful non-profit ministry dedicated to helping those struggling with addiction. Marilyn’s greatest strength was her ability to make our clients feel welcomed and cared for.

 

Her care and love for her family, and including each client in that care, is a standard that we all strive to follow.

BILL JALINSKI

SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT

Bill was the special assistant to the president. He oversaw our document system and copying services. Without him, Josh wouldn’t have been able to start this business. Prior to joining JAG, he spent 30 plus years in the financial services industry with Sovereign Bank and Jersey Shore Savings and Loan. His experience in Community Banking led Josh to create an “old-school financial firm” built on relationships and trust. Josh is so proud of his dad’s heritage of faith in God and family. As Josh puts it, “Dad has always been there for me. When I started the firm on my own when I was twenty-three, Dad was there cheering me on. I couldn’t have done it without him.” Bill’s greatest strengths were his attention to details and his work ethic. Bill was married for fifty-one years to Marilyn and they had 4 children and 9 grandchildren. In his free time, he enjoyed sporting events, reading about history, and walking his dog Tegan.

His work ethic and support helped Josh establish this firm, and his faith and family values contributed to the way we operate to this day.
