James Edward McCann

Jim was born on July 4, 1947, in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, son of the late Morris and Winifred (McCullough) McCann.

Following his graduation from high school, Jim attended West Virginia University and graduated from Rider University. He went on to enjoy a successful career spanning more than 30 years with Johnson & Johnson, working in product development in Somerville, New Jersey, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania and Arlington, Texas. Throughout his career, Jim was known for his dedication and strong work ethic.

He had a lifelong passion for automobiles, building model cars, and was an avid racing enthusiast. Whether attending races, capturing the excitement of the track through his photography, or simply enjoying a drive in his beloved 2008 Corvette, Jim's enthusiasm for cars and racing was a special part of his life.

After retirement, Jim and his beloved wife, Nancy, embraced the opportunity to travel, spending time throughout Florida and endless trips to Disney World. Together, they created countless cherished memories exploring international destinations such as Costa Rica and enjoying cruises throughout the Caribbean.

Above all, Jim was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend who treasured his family and the many wonderful memories they created together.

Jim is survived by his devoted wife of 55 years, Nancy (McWhertor) McCann, whom he married August 21, 1971; his son, Michael McCann along with his granddaughter Ashley McCann, and son, Christopher McCann with his wife Graciela Nogueras. He also leaves his sister-in-law, Barbara Guhl and brother-in-law Rodney Guhl; his niece, Jennifer Guhl; and his nephews, Eric Guhl and Reed and Jeffrey McCann.

In addition to his parents, Jim was preceded in death by his brother, Morris McCann and nephew Timothy McCann.

Jim will be deeply missed by his family and friends, but the memories of his love, laughter, and adventures he shared with those closest to him will remain in their hearts forever.
