Jim was a member of Local 51 Plumbers & Pipefitters for over 40 years. He retired from the City of Brockton Public Property Division after 24 years of service. A man of quiet humility, integrity, kindness, humor and faith, he was devoted to his wife, children and grandchildren.
Jim was an avid golfer and a member of Brockton Country Club and Harwichport Golf Club. He enjoyed his summers in Dennisport and his travels with his wife, but his true passion was his time spent at his grandchildren’s sporting events.
