James Allen Dooley

James Allen Dooley of Lakeville MA passed last Friday, October 31st at the age of 67. Son of Bill (late) & Hazel Dooley.

He is survived by his three sisters Kathy, Marie, and Billy-Jean, his two sons Billy (late) and Justin, and his three grandchildren Liam, Grace, and Mae.

Known as Jimmy, Kayro, or a CB handle were not going to share here, this man was a dreamer, curious and kind. He wasn't one for details and proudly missed the internet entirely. This was challenging for many women, employers, and any governmental authority with three letters, all of whom he gave fits. Small children and animals on the other hand understood him just fine.

Always up for adventure or a new project, he followed his heart. His years in trucks had him see every corner of this country and left him with many a story, which he delighted in telling. If it had wheels or tracks he could drive it, and he spent a good chunk of his life fiddling with one machine or another.

He was always proud of his two boys, and his grandson who was frequently at his side in his later years. For Jimmy life was easy come, easy go. It's fitting then that he slipped off in his sleep, no doubt dreaming of whatever adventure was next.

A Celebration of Life for James will be held Saturday, November 8th 2025 from 2-5pm at the Stoneforge Tavern, 90 Paramount Drive, Raynham, MA 02767.
