James Edmund Conwell

February 4, 1960 - February 3,2023

Jim died peacefully surrounded by family in Sarasota FL, the day before his 63 birthday. Jim

was living the dream, when working from home became the norm, he moved to Sarasota to ride

out his career, to enjoy his favorite hobbies. Golfing, fishing, biking and magnificent Florida

sunsets became the fruits of his labor.

Born and raised in Wynnewood, PA, Jim bled blue and white his whole life. He went to St.

Margaret’s in Narberth, Episcopal Academy and Penn State. He loved being a ‘Narb’ almost as

much as he loved being a Penn State fanatic! But his greatest love was being Uncle Jim. When

the kids were little he was well known for arriving with his pillow in hand ready for battle! His

infamous extension fork appeared for every celebration.He called after every Halloween and

threatened to eat their candy while they were at school.… Even when he lived in Arizona!! He

always had a pocket full of twenties for Christmas and played master of ceremonies for the

talent shows and pollyannas. Jim was a good listener and adviser. He made every one of his

nieces and nephews feel like his favorite. He followed them in their schools and sports and was

genuinely interested in them. Through all the ups and downs in life, if you called Uncle Jim, he

had a way of making you feel like everything would be okay. He cared very much and loved all

in a special way.

Jim had a lifelong career as a bond trader that started in New York City. Jim moved back to

Philadelphia, lived in Scottsdale, AZ for a few years, and spent the last 15 years with LPL

Financial in Charlotte, NC.

He is predeceased by his father Charles Conwell, who passed just two days before him, and

his mother Diane Conwell (deLuca). Jim is survived by his brother Charles Jr (Deirdre McGreal),

sister Cathleen McErlean (Joseph) and sister Amy. Jim is also survived by his 12 favorite nieces

and nephews, 11 great nieces and nephews, and many lifelong friends.

Pennswood Rd Bryn Mawr , Pa 19010. Visitation 10:15-11:00 AM (in church) and
