Jim spent his working career with Con Edison at the Travis Avenue location. He was active in the Con Ed Retirement Association; and enjoyed meeting friends from Con Ed for ice cream.
Some of Jim’s favorite things were playing with his dog Cooper; a good Prime Rib dinner with a friend, a cold beer, and a good joke. He actively kept up with politics and current events; reading the S.I. Advance from cover to cover. Jim loved computers and electronics as well as music and cars. He will not miss having to rake up “itchy balls” in the yard.
He is survived by his loving sisters, Frances Craig Brewster, Mary Pearsall, Patricia Pearsall-Ramey, his loving nieces and nephews and grand-nieces. He will be so very missed by his family, friends, and his dog, Cooper. Cooper is being well-loved by Jim’s sister Fran.
