He joins his wife Claire and son Jimmy in eternal life in Heaven.
Jim was a Hartford Firefighter, retiring in 1969.
He loved the beach and spent many a day there listing to the Boston Red Sox.
Jim leaves his loving family, daughters Patty Tryon and Karen Dunham, and their husbands, Jim Tryon and Richard Dunham; three grandchildren Keith Tryon, Christine Reynolds and Lindsey Dunham; and three great grandchildren, Delaney, Lily, and Aedan Reynolds.
A celebration of his life will be held in the summer.
