BROOKLAWN, NJ (July 19, 2026)(CNBNews)— James “Jim” DiAmore, age 77, longtime pharmacist and friend to generations of residents, passed away on July 15, 2026, following a long illness. Jim was a unique personality — blunt, direct, and sometimes misunderstood by those who didn’t know him well.

A Life of Service to His Community

Jim devoted decades of service to the Brooklawn Fire Department, often driving the ambulance and responding to emergency calls late at night. He supported local police, youth sports teams, and was frequently the first to offer financial help to Brooklawn and Gloucester City residents who had fallen on hard times. He didn’t talk about the good he did; he simply did it.

Aortic Dissection: 3 Things Everyone Should Know

Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sudden death from an aortic dissection has spiked public interest in the condition, with many wondering what it is, who is at risk and whether it can be detected before becoming life-threatening.

“Most people think of aortic dissection as a rare condition, but it’s more common than many realize,” says Joseph Bavaria, MD, Chair of the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Jefferson Health and an international expert on dissection and aortic diseases.

Characterized by a tear in the aortic wall, dissection is a life-threatening medical emergency. It develops suddenly and often without warning, although the underlying aortic disease or weakness that increases the risk of dissection may have been present for years.
