James Wilkinson Obituary
James M. Wilkinson (1953-2025) will be forever loved by wife Susan, daughters Kristin and Nicole, son in law Terry, and grandchildren Oliver, Claire and Oscar James.

Jim was a gentle giant (6'5"!) and was a kind person to all, a fantastic friend, and a dependable co-worker. One could not know of a more perfect soul and no one will be missed more than he.

Jim and his family were neighbors around the corner on Calvert Street. His brother Mark, and my brother Shawn were good friends. Jim was always nice to the "little kids" when we wanted to play. I have very happy memories of the Wilkinsons. I am thinking of your family, and sending my love to you all.

I knew Jim when I worked at the State Theatre. Ann worked there as well.
He was an awesome individual back then and it sounds like that didn't change as he got older. Prayers for the family.

In the old Calvert street neighborhood, Jim was always one of the nice "big kids".
He was unstoppable on the driveway basketball court.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Wilkinson family.
