Jim was raised on Dorchester Ave in Dorchester and enjoyed playing baseball and other sports through his days at Christopher Columbus High School before enlisting in the Army. Jim was stationed in France for two years before returning to Dorchester and beginning his long career at the Boston Edison Company.

In 1961 he married the love of his life, Maureen, in a celebration attended by over 400 guests. They settled in North Quincy where they raised their five children. Their home quickly became the center for many social family and friend gatherings with pool parties, cookouts, card games and sing-alongs. Jim enjoyed becoming a member at the Squantum Yacht Club where they made many lifelong friends and celebrated special milestones. After almost forty years in Quincy and 37 years at the Boston Edison, Jim retired and moved to Falmouth with Maureen where they enjoyed another twenty years of entertaining their ten grandchildren with backyard movies and trips to Old Silver Beach. A favorite pastime was being the chauffeur for family and friends participating in the annual Falmouth Road Race followed by tending the post-race backyard grill.

Jim will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his dedication to his faith, and his generous spirit. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness and strength that will continue to inspire all who loved him.
