JAMES LOMBARDI Obituary
81 of Jackson Township, passed away peacefully to his heavenly home on Saturday, January 19, 2019. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in God supported him in his fight and ultimately gave him peace. Jim and his brother, Ed formed Lombardi Brothers Inc. Ed moved to Florida and Jim founded RELIABLE READY MIX, Canton, Ohio. Jim was a 1955 graduate of Lincoln High School where he played football, was a soloist in Ruth Cogan's choir, and an extremely talented saxophone aficionado. He was of the Catholic faith. Along with his parents he was preceded in death by his beloved son, James Michael "Jimmy" Lombardi of whom he was so proud.
He is survived by his loving wife, Nita Claire (Mollet)
Lombardi; brother, Edward Lombardi of Orlando, FL; aunt and godmother, Florence M. Johnston; several nieces, nephews and cousins; and his 'Earth Angels', CC, Shannon, Donna, Annette, Heather, Jane, Mary Ann, and Patti. Jim will be dearly missed by his family and friends who celebrate the fact that he is at peace with his Creator and surrounded by loved ones who welcomed him Home.
I am at peace now
I have fought the good fight
I have finished the race
I have kept the faith

Heaven has gained a wonderful man. I met him when I was one of Jimmy's caregivers. Dad and Mom Lombardi were just like family to all of us girls. Dad will be missed here on earth but he is with his son again . I love you and will miss you. My deepest sympathies to mom.

I remember Jim and his son Jimmy riding their dirt bikes around the woods behind our homes on Pinehills Dr. Laughingly, I recall my late wife and all the other mom's in the neighborhood swooning over Jim because of how handsome he was. Most of all I recall that he was a fine gentleman and father. Nita, you have my sympathy. PS, I still own the house on Pinehills Dr. that you both suggested Rose and I take a look at.
