James Cuscovitch Obituary
Born in Springfield, Jim was a son of the late Charles and Melvina (Crochetiere) Cuscovitch. He lived in Enfield for most of his life, moving to Suffield in 2015. Jim served his country honorably in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War. He was formerly employed by Troiano's Oil Co. for 22 years, before owning and operating Jim's Plumbing and Heating for over 30 years. He was a longtime friend of Bill W. for over 38 years and was affectionately known to many as "Jim the Plumber." He was a communicant of Holy Family Church of St. Jeanne Jugan Parish, and he was a member of the Knights of Columbus Washington Irving Council 50 in Enfield, and the William B. Kilcoyne Assembly 4th Degree. Jim was an avid fisherman, both freshwater and saltwater, enjoying his time on his boat with family and friends. When he wasn't fishing, Jim enjoyed golfing, or attending and supporting his grandchildren's various sports and activities.
