Jim was proudly raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a resident of Washington Twp., for over 40 years and recently, resided in Deptford, NJ. James was a jack of all trades, owned and operated Barlow’s Hardware, and was prideful in fixing anything. He was an entertainer; the voice of his family, a true showman! Jimmy loved leading his family in song every possible chance he got. He also enjoyed spending time down the shore, going to the casino, and vacationing aboard cruises in the company of his loving wife, Christine.
James was known for having a good heart, and being someone that you would share endless laughs and smiles with. In addition, Jim was a dedicated Catholic belonging to The Church of The Holy Family.
