In Loving Memory
James J Carroll
December 6, 1932 – March 4, 2025
RICHLAND, NY - James J Carroll,(Jim), 92, is now dancing in heaven with his wife, Louise, and daughters, Alicia Norris, and Brenda Allen.
Jim is also predeceased by his parents Margaret and Christopher Carroll, siblings Jerry, Marie, Alice, Peggy, and Helen.
He is survived by his daughter, Cindi (Ed) Palilonis, Fort Myers Beach, FL, sons James (Margaret) Carroll, Windsor, NY, John (Laurel) Carroll, Colleyville,TX, son-in-law's, Doug Allen, Conklin,NY and Chris Norris, Susquehanna,PA as well as 14 grandchildren and 31 great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
Jim graduated from DeSales high school, Geneva, NY. He was a Corporal in the US Army serving in the Korean War. He was a member of the American Legion, and Knights of Columbus.
Jim worked for various hardware companies, and in 1972 along side his wife Louise, became owners of Susquehanna Home Center, Susquehanna, PA. In his later years, he was a truck driver for Don's Auto in Binghamton, NY and a pipe fitter for Snyder's plumbing and heating, working at Xerox in Webster, NY.
Jim loved his "camp" home in Redfield, NY. For years he would invite family and friends to spend the weekends snowmobiling together. He also loved to dance and enjoyed the friends he met at various dancing functions.
Our family would like to thank Dad's beautiful dancing partner, Erma Gerardi, for her love and compassion towards our dad. We are truly grateful for you! We would also like to thank the VA for their support.
At dad's request, there will be No Services. Arrangements are in care of Harter Funeral Home, Inc. Mexico, NY.
He leaves us with his favorite saying, "Too soon old, too late smart." RIP dad.
