James M. Taddonio

Condolences to Jim´s brother Joe and family. Jim´s passing brought back fond memories of growing up on Newton Ave in West Lynn. Jim was a great friend . Always ready to get together whether it was as teenagers knocking around far and wide on our bicycles, or sitting it up in his room listening to new albums. He loved Deep Purple, Blue Oyster cult, the British rockers, Beck, Clapton.... and throw in Cheech and Chong for a change of pace. He loved music and could shred it on the guitar. He was also smart and very athletic getting the starting nod on the Lynn Classical varsity team. We were great friends throughout our teenage years and early twenties. But even after his illness kicked in the good hearted, wild eyed, optimistic Jim was still on display. RIP Brother Jim.
