James Impy Obituary
James William Impy, 70, passed away peacefully in the early hours of Saturday, April 20, 2024.
A lifelong Norwalk resident, Jimmy was born on April 3,1954 to the late Frank & Jean Impy. The epitome of a "Mr. Fix-It," Jimmy worked for the late owner of Caldor for several years before transitioning to Weston Public Schools as part of the maintenance and custodial staff.
Jimmy loved all things music and muscle cars. You would often find him tinkering in the garage, fixing anything and everything, always making time for dance breaks, lip synching and air guitar riffs to his beloved rock & roll music. Jimmy was happiest when spending time with his family, "chewing the fat" with his friends and making people laugh. You knew it was going to be a good joke when he gave you a nudge with his elbow and cracked himself up before he could even deliver the punchline.
He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 40 years, Patricia, and his adoring daughter, Elizabeth. In addition to his wife & daughter, Jimmy is survived by his sister, Jane Pender, his brother-in-law, Brian, his nephew, John and was predeceased by his niece, Sarah. He is also survived by his honorary daughters Julia Young and Alyssa Young and countless family and friends who will miss him beyond measure.
His family will receive friends on Saturday, April 27, from 10AM - 12PM at the Magner Funeral Home, 12 Mott Ave in Norwalk, CT, followed by a celebration of his life. If you'd like, please feel free to bring photos you have of him and all of your most memorable stories so that we can honor him in the best way we know how, reliving the good times.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Norwalk ElderHouse at www.elderhouse.org or the Lewy Body Society at www.lewybody.org

Jimmy is unforgettable: I am full of sadness knowing that our dear Jimmy is not here with us. For sure the door of heaven is wide open for him, and his angel is guiding him to reach the gate that will bring him near God. You were a kind, loving and caring individual. Even when Jimmy was facing dementia he stilled remembered me ("I can hear him saying Hi Maribel."), I love you so much and I will miss you dearly. His wife Patty and daughter will miss him even more. His dear friend of Sixty five years John feels a tremendous gap and sorrow. All your family, friends and the entire gang will sure miss you. You were so funny and your actions were like an innocents child.

Love you and missing you much,
Maribel Bravo

Jimmy was always "the fun guy". I met him way back in the '80's, through Dan (Collins). They were good buddies long before I knew either of them, always joking around and talking cars. I met Patty and Jimmy when Dan and I became a couple. Good times in the old days! Go carts, car shows, Uncle Joe's and hanging around the repair shop.
Jimmy was our Best Man on our wedding day. He was a dedicated Friend. He was a support to Dan when Dan became ill and passed away in 1997. I will never forget how close they were, and what a good person Jimmy Impy was.
My heartfelt condolences to Patty, Elizabeth and Family. What a loss. I wish steady strength to you all as you grieve Jimmy's passing. With Love, Susie Collins.

I know Jimmy from working with him in the maintenance department at the town of Weston. We always had great conversations and he made me laugh. We had a lot of fun working together. Rest in peace, my friend

Pat and Elizabeth,
We are so very sorry. Charlie saw him a few years back and they had a great time. We think about you guys now and then. Where did the time go? You both are in our thoughts.

I'm at Jimmy in high school. We hit it off the first day we met we both love muscle cars and women. I helped them work on his car and he helped me work on mine. Sometimes we would switch cars he would drive my 67 Chevelle and I would drive his GTO at the end of the night we would switch back so our parents didn't get mad at us for bringing someone else's car home. We continued our friendship After High School and until the day he passed. He worked on a class reunion committee together with us and we had constant good times and laughs and joke telling. He will be dearly missed. Jimmy you were one of my greatest friends. Love you John
