James Edward Misanko

Jim Misanko left this earthly world to be reunited with his parents, Jim and

Lois, and two 'little' brothers, Bill and David. He leaves his wife and

best friend Sharon; his amazing sons Eric (Angela) and Matthew (Erin);

his perfect grandchildren Jocelyn, Adele, Maxwell, and Mikah; his

In-Laws Jim and Wendy Davis and Mark and Sandra Bulgrin; and many

dear nieces, nephews, and cousins. Jim put his family first and enjoyed

fun vacations, sporting events, picnics, holiday parties, and more with them.

Jim always described his meeting Sharon as "Love at First Sight," and

their 44-year union, with total dedication to their marriage vows, spoke

to that beautiful connection. Jim had a passion for life that included

a love of playing and watching sports. He was a Golden Glove Boxer,

Basketball Player (30 years with his dear buddies), Bowler, and Terrific

Golfer. And yes, we will count Euchre and Chess as sports since he was a

champion of both. He occasionally harassed his friend Mark Edmunds

because of Jim's love for the New York Yankees instead of the Cleveland

Indians. He also was a faithful and diehard Chicago Bears fan.

Jim consistently demonstrated his deep commitment to Catholicism

by faithfully attending Mass at St. Francis de sales Church with his

family each Sunday. Jim had many friends who visited him

throughout his seven-year illness. He also leaves two special people who

supported him through his journey: cousin Christopher Misanko and

neighbor Dennis Guilmette. We will miss Jim's flawless big

smile, and an unforgettable laugh that will certainly be missed!

Mass of Christian Burial will be held Friday, March 14, 2025 at 11:30 am

at St. Francis de sales Church where the family will receive friends 1 hour prior.
