James Durkan Obituary
Jim was a Brooklyn boy through and through. He proudly played sandlot baseball with the Cadets through high school in Marine Park with Joe Torre and other future major league players.
Jim's loves included art, history, opera and travel but his true love was politics. He was proud to be an Honorary Usher at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Jim headed his own business, Madison Financial Concepts, a financial planning company for many years.
In lieu of flowers the family would like Masses to be said for the repose of Jim's soul and/or donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - stjude.org/%20donate.
