James Eccleston

James J. Eccleston, age 56, of Philadelphia, formerly of Jacksonville, Florida, passed away on October 18, 2022.
Jim was blessed with a large and loving family, being the youngest of eleven. He loved being a father to his four children, and he took great joy in the time he spent with each of them. His love of the water and a good round of golf will always be remembered as a day well spent. Jim was a gregarious man with a big smile and even bigger personality. He was incredibly hard-working, while also being the life of the party. He truly knew how to make you laugh. Jim was a fan of all types of music and always believed his other life was as a singer. He had a great sense of humor and his laughter could be heard miles away from a good episode of Seinfeld. His love and generosity were beyond measure. He will be greatly missed by all.
Jim is survived by his beloved children, Emily, Ryan, Sean, and Abigail, and their mother Susan. Beloved son of the late John and Kathleen Eccleston. Loving brother to John (Helen), Mickey (Joanne), Rick (Pat), Dennis (Barb), Kevin, Maureen (Bob) Allison, Kathleen, Scott (Lisa), Colleen (Vince) Bruno and Jerry (Jen). Also survived by his mother-in-law and father-in-law Rich and Bert Morrison, sister-in-law Diane Panepresso (Joe), brother-in-law Rich Morrison (Annette), and many nieces and nephews.
