He joined the Marine Corps at the age of 17, fought in the Korean War in 1950-51, where he carried a Browning Automatic Rifle. James was the recipient of three Purple Hearts from wounds suffered during combat. James was a man who took the motto "God, Family, Country" very seriously and was a man of great faith. He loved working outside around the house, cutting grass, and making sure that all of his landscaping was in top shape. He will be missed dearly by everybody who surrounded him, especially the family dog, Surge. Family will welcome friends Wednesday and Thursday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at SCHELLHAAS & SONS FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, INC., 1600 Stone Mansion Drive, Sewickley, PA 15143, Franklin Park/Wexford.

I didn't know the Libonatis, but theirs must have been a beautiful love story, for James to pass mere days after he lost his bride. My deepest sympathy to the Libonati family. How fortunate you are to have had these wonderful people in your lives.
