Jimmy graduated from Worcester Junior College and Worcester Industrial Technical Institute.  He worked for various companies in the Worcester area including Wyman Gordon, Heald Machine, Morgan Construction and retired from Millipore Corporation in Bedford, Ma as a Project Engineer.  Jimmy liked the game of golf and played in a league at Clearview Country Club until illness forced him to give it up.  He thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to the class of 1956 high school reunions and the annual “Old Gang” banquet.  He loved to read, dine out, travel and create lovely stained-glass pieces but his greatest joy was time spent with family and dear friends Len and Joan Norman.

“If there’s another world, he lives in bliss; if there is none, he made the best of this.”  Robert Burns
