James Forson Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
James was a man of many talents and a generous heart. He was a proud graduate of Schalick High School, Class of 1996. James also attended the Salem County Vo-tech welding program. His hands-on skills and creative spirit made him a true jack of all trades. Whether it was helping family with home repairs or lending a hand to friends in need, James brought his knowledge and dedication into everything he did.
James was also a passionate musician who found joy in playing the guitar. He did not just keep music to himself; he loved to share the gift of music with all of those around him.
In quieter moments, James could be found with a fishing pole in hand, enjoying the peace of the outdoors and tending to his turtles. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
James is survived by his daughters Christina, Mellissa and Amber; his stepsons Matthew and Michael; his parents James and Diane; his siblings Diane Minio, Susan Weber (Chris), and Brian Forson; his nine grandchildren, along with many nieces and nephews.
James is predeceased by his sister Cassandra Lacioppa.
