James Gary Mills

Jim was a good friend of my ex-husband Chuck Dolinskas from their days at Newark College of Engineering in the late 60´s/early 70´s. They had many adventures together over the years.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for knowing this man. In high school, he was one of the only adults that understood me and went out of his way to help me succeed. I used to say I took an extra class in high school, It was detention with Mr Mills. Though, I would usually get out early for knowing the answers to his music trivia! What a special human being. How blessed we are to have been in his orbit. Sending all my love to his family and many, many friends.

Rest in peace Mr. Mills...
Both my brother and I had Mr. Mills as our Science teacher in the early to mid 90´s at DHS. I still remember how passionate he was with his students and in what he taught. Condolences to his family.

Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. He took the photos at our wedding in 1972. He was a great person.

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Lots of great memories at Dracut High. Our condolences go out to Kathy and Jim's family.

Reading this obit is saddening. Grew up in Newton NJ and attended school with Jim in the 1950s and 60's. We were friends as were all our families. My sincere condolences to Kathy, Nancy, Michael and all their families and friends. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Shared many a good time at the Nan over the years. RIP brother

Mr. Millis was one of my teachers at Dracut High in the 90's. I used to enjoy talking music with him, as we had similar taste. Mr. Mills was the teacher that usually had detention duty. Always asking one trivia question at the start of detention. If you were the first person to answer correctly, you got to leave immediately. The one time I had detention, Mr. Mills asked, "who can see for miles?" I raised my hand so fast, getting the answer correct with The Who. I saw Mr. Mills in Hudson a couple years ago and told him this story. He remembered this day and told me he chose that question because he knew I'd know the answer and I "didn't belong in detention". He was a good guy. I bet he's on the other side rocking out with all the greats. Thinking of his family at this time.
