James's obituary

In Memory of James Thomas Phoenix

A son of Catskill, NY, James Phoenix passed away peacefully on January 25th, 2022 at the age of 78 in South Carolina. Jim was proud to have served his country in the U.S. Coast Guard from 1962-1966, and it was there he would learn the skills that would lead him to a long, successful career in audio-electrical engineering. He was a voracious reader and continuous learner, particularly related to United States and world history. Both in his professional life and personal life, music was always at the forefront. He was also an avid outdoorsman with a deep appreciation for nature, which he has shared with many friends and passed along to his children.

Jim Phoenix was preceded in death by his loving parents Jane and Ralph Phoenix, sister Susie McCullough, and brother Thomas Phoenix, all of Greene County, NY. He is survived by children Steven and Jennifer Phoenix, grandson Everyn Phoenix, and siblings Robert Phoenix, and Nancy Bittner, as well as several nieces and nephews.
