JAMES HARRISON Obituary

HARRISON, James P. "Jim" Age 65, of Hanover, formerly of Pembroke and Plymouth, passed away peacefully, Saturday, March 14, 2026, after a hard fought battle against Parkinson's Disease. Born in Dorchester, Jim grew up in Pembroke, where he was a standout baseball and hockey player and a 2015 Silver Lake Athletic Hall of Fame inductee. A passionate golfer, he was a former member of Furnace Brook and Harmon Golf Clubs and enjoyed playing with his friends and family. Jim loved nothing more than being a dad. Never missing a game, he took great pride watching his children from the sidelines. A social butterfly, he welcomed every opportunity for lunch, dinner, a golf outing or a sporting event. Jim battled Parkinson's disease alongside a community of warriors at 110 Fitness in Rockland. He was most recently in the care of Sunrise of Braintree, where he was a beloved friend to all residents, staff and visiting families. Son of the late John and Theresa Harrison; he is survived by his son, James and his wife, Marlena; daughter, Abby; his former wife, Kerry; sister, Jeanette; and many nieces and nephews. The family asks you to wear a hint of red to the services in memory of Jim's fight against Parkinson's.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Our Lady of the Angels Parish - St. Mary's, 392 Hanover St. Rte. 139, Hanover, on Thursday, at 9am.

Rest in peace my new friend. I gained strength from reading about you and I am sure you left many people with a bunch of happy memories. I'm sure you would have been a great guy to see a ballgame with. You gave me strength my friend. Best wishes to your loved ones. ...from a regular guy in NYC
