James F. Diliberto

James F. “Jim” Diliberto, 81, passed away suddenly after a short illness on January 17, 2026, in Stamford, CT. Born on February 29, 1944, in Brooklyn, NY, Jim was the son of Antoinette Olivo and Carlo Diliberto. He was a proud graduate of Don Bosco Preparatory High School in New Jersey and went on to earn his degree from the College of Chiropractic Medicine. Jim began his professional journey at Leviton in Brooklyn, NY—an experience that would shape not only his career but also his personal life, as it was there he met Barbara, who would become his devoted wife of 60 years. His career evolved into a successful path in technical resource consulting with firms such as Vital and Forum. Over the years, Jim built a reputation for excellence while working with a wide range of clients including AT&T, CBS and Bristol Myers. A man of many passions and talents, Jim had an extraordinary love for food and cooking. He was a gifted chef who took immense pride in preparing exquisite meals and hosting unforgettable gatherings. Whether crafting a multi-course dinner or orchestrating a holiday feast, Jim’s culinary creations were always infused with care and joy. He and Barbara shared a deep love for travel and spent many cherished holidays both across the United States and throughout Europe. One particularly meaningful trip included a visit to Sicily—a highlight for Jim who took great pride in his Sicilian heritage. They especially enjoyed their time at the beach in Florida and relaxing at their second home in Delaware. Jim was an avid golfer and enthusiastic tennis player who embraced both sports with energy and camaraderie. His leisure time reflected his zest for life and appreciation for good company. A lifelong Catholic, Jim supported numerous charities throughout his life. He was also active in the State Street Debating Society in Stamford where he served for several years on the Scholarship Committee—an extension of his commitment to thoughtful discourse and community support. Those who knew Jim will remember him for his generous spirit and unwavering kindness. Always ready to lend a hand or offer support, he embodied selflessness in both word and deed. His quick wit, curious mind, infectious laugh, and gift for repartee made him a joy to be around—his warmth left an indelible mark on everyone he encountered. Jim is survived by Barbara, his beloved wife of 60 years; and by Harry Korin of Dallas, Texas—his close friend and brother-in-law. He was predeceased by his parents Antoinette Olivo and Carlo; his brother Joseph; and sister Patricia. Donations in Jim’s memory may be made to St. Jude Hospital for Children. May the memory of James Francis “Jim” Diliberto bring comfort to all who knew him. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, January 23rd at 11am at the Church of the Holy Spirit, 403 Scofieldtown Road, Stamford. Interment will be private.
