Obituary
JAMES MCGREEVEY, 60, of Ipswich, MA, formerly of Medford MA, passed from this life onto his next adventure after kicking cancer’s ass for 28 months. He was a proud son, husband, father, brother, uncle, friend, and mentor to many students.
Jim was predeceased by his parents James and Leona McGreevey. He was the beloved husband to Kathy McGreevey for 31 years, father to Kelly and Meaghan, brother to Debbie and Mike & wife Denise McGreevey, uncle to Shawn & wife Rachel McGreevey, Kayla & husband Brad Biondello, Danny & fiancé Becky George, Michael & wife Sarah McGreevey, and Lindsey, Jackie, Stephanie, and Matthew McGreevey.
His infectious laugh and the way he always filled the room with his presence was his gift. His love for his wife Kathy and his daughters Kelly and Meg was unparalleled. He was the guy his friends, his beloved sister Debbie and brother Mike, and many nieces and nephews, could count on.
He impacted so many students in his role as a teacher and always fought for the underdog.
He was the recipient of unwavering love from his band of brothers and was passionate about his guitars and music. His early morning and late night serenades will be greatly missed.
Calling Hours will be held in the George L. Doherty Funeral Home 855 Broadway (Powder House Sq.) on Sunday, December 7th from 9:00AM to 11:00AM. Followed by a celebration of life at 11:00AM.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend and stay for the celebration of life.
Interment will be private.
