Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 15, 2025.
East Sandwich - James (Jimmy) T. Denehy, born on December 14, 1951, passed away peacefully on January 10, 2025, at McCarthy Care Center in East Sandwich, Massachusetts.

Jimmy was the beloved son of the late James and Josephine (Sambuchi) Denehy of Framingham, MA. He was predeceased by his sister, Pamela (Denehy) Mozdiez of Southborough, MA. Jimmy is survived by his brother-in-law, Thomas Mozdiez of Southborough, MA; his nieces Kristen Gillis and her husband Brian Gillis of Hopkinton, MA; Jennifer Gillis and her husband Kevin Gillis of Southborough, MA, along with their children Ella and Jameson Gillis; and his special friend Jane Drury of Milford, MA.

A longtime resident of Hyannis on Cape Cod, Jimmy had a deep love for the beach and ocean that surrounded him. His appreciation for nature extended to animals as well, and he shared a special bond with his cherished cat, Missy.

In honor of Jimmy's love for animals, donations may be made in his memory to MSPCA Angell Cape Cod, Centerville, MA.

A private ceremony will be held at a later date. May Jimmy's memory bring comfort to all who knew him.
