James Berrigan Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
James was a biker with honor. His true passion in life was riding his Harley and Bourget – feeling the wind.
He loved his family, friends and country. James was a veteran who proudly served in the United States Navy.
A man of strong convictions, he did not sway nor did he falter.
He could be tough as nails, and he lived by a code that many didn't understand. You always knew where you stood with him. He would hold you accountable. But he loved you and would do anything for the ones he loved.
Jim had many hobbies including carpentry, tooling leather and painting.
A Graveside Service will be held on March 15, 2025 at 11 a.m. at Knollwood Memorial Park, 321 High St. Canton, MA. A Celebration of Life will follow at the American Legion, 155 Eastern Ave. Dedham, MA. Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend. For guestbook gormleyfuneral.com.

Met Jim when we served in the Navy. He was kind enough to bring me home to Boston, for the bicentennial. Had a wonderful time. Kept in touch regularly over the years. Last time we spoke was Christmas. I shall miss him forever. I did consider him a good friend. Goodbye old friend. Tom Koupal, St Louis, MO. [email protected].

Babs was an important part of the Charlie Doyle League Cowboys. Drill after drill, even in darkness with just the street lamps shining on Billings field, bass would hustle and never quit. I treasure the great times I had with these young men and I have some great memories. RIP Bags. Head Coach Dick Travers (although Ed McFarland was really the 'head' coach....)
