James Patrick Lohan, affectionately known as Jim, passed away peacefully on December 16, 2022, surrounded by family. Jim was 86 years old and enjoyed a long and happy life. He leaves behind a legacy for love of family, friends, and life itself.

Jim was born in Brooklyn in 1936. He attended P.S. 159 in Bayside Queens, Bayside High School, and City College in Manhattan.

Jim and Laura settled in New Jersey where they raised their family and have resided for the past forty plus years. Before and after his retirement, Jim loved to spend time with all his family, vacation in their Vermont lake house, follow the local sports team, care for his dogs, track the weather, and enjoy his favorite foods, including but not limited to pastrami, chocolate milkshakes, and boxty.
