JAMES I. ARTHUR, 89, of Eastham passed away peacefully at his home on March 16. He leaves his wife of 67 years to Inella Cooper and daughters Sue Clark of Brewster and Nora Potts of Eastham and their families. He was predeceased by his son James, Jr. and daughters Jean and Betsy.
Jim served his country during WWII in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Eaton in the South Pacific where he earned a Purple Heart. He retired from the Berkshire Eagle in Pittsfield MA and moved to Cape Cod to be near family. Jim loved golf and shot a hole-in-one at the age of 88 at Chequessett Country Club where he was a longtime member. An avid fan of the Boston Celtics, he never missed watching a game. He enjoyed his almost daily visits to Willy’s Gym and loved doing anything for his family.
A memorial will be planned for a later date. Donations in Jim’s name can be made to the Lower Cape Outreach. Contribute online at www.lcoutreach.org or by mail to P.O. Box 665, Orleans, MA 02653. For online condolences, please visit www.nickersonfunerals.com
