James A. Tantillo, 74 years, died Thursday at the Brockton Hospital unexpectedly. He was born in Quincy, the son of the late Anthony and Delia Tantillo. He has been a resident of Brockton for the past 47 years. He proudly served in the Army during the Korean Conflict. He had been a painter for a total of 50 years and for the last 25 for the J.F.
