James E. Depew, age 76, passed away March 15, 2019. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 42 years Connie (nee Tilton) and sister Roberta (John) Felderman. James is survived by his children, Danielle (Scott) Stackhouse of Centerville, OH and Michelle (Tom) Bach of Springboro, OH; grandchildren, Alec, Olivia, and William; great-granddaughter, Madison; sister, Karen Stevens of Philadelphia, PA and brother, Robert (Joann) Depew of Long Beach, CA. A graduate of Westminster College with a degree in Chemistry, he spent most of his career in purchasing and retired from Glidden Paint/ICI after 27 years. He was an avid philatelist from a young age and enjoyed attending various stamp shows and conventions. He traveled the world for business and always enjoyed fine food and wine. He was a fantastic home cook and greeted new neighbors with homemade zucchini bread. His lemon cookies and hearty laugh will be missed. He loved fishing, being a Florida snowbird, and planning social events with his Avenbury Buckingham Drive friends. He was a diehard Steelers and Indians fan. He was phenomenally stoic in the face of cancer, not once but twice. He was a friend to all and beloved by many. A Celebration of Life Service will be held Saturday, April 20, 2019 at 11 am at Busch Funeral Home, 32000 Detroit Road, Avon, OH. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Salvation Army, 2507 E. 22nd St., Cleveland, OH 44115.

We are very sorry for your loss. Jim was a good neighbor, but a much better friend. He always took time out to talk to my wife and I. He would tell us about shopping specials and places to eat to save money. He truly loved his family. He would talk about his mom, his children and grand-children quiet often. Rest in peace Jim. We will miss you.

Jim was the best next door neighbor I could have ever wished for when I moved to Avenbury Lakes six years ago. He will be missed by all of us fortunate enough to be his neighbors and friends. I think he supplied everyone on the street with food and the only stipulation was " Just return my container" Jim, I think I still owe you a container or two! He was so proud of his wonderful family, especially his great granddaughter. He would love to show you her pictures on his phone which for us senior citizens is quite a techi accomplishment. He will be missed here but I am sure it was time for him to feed the folks in Heaven. Rest in peace Jim' your work here on earth was well done. Lovingly, the gal next door, Nancy Linonis

Jim couldn't have been a better neighbor. He supplied me with soup and wine. If I needed anything he was always there for me.
