James Springer Obituary

James A. Springer James A. Springer, 64, of Leesport passed away peacefully at home on October 17, 2020 surrounded by his family. Born in Reading, PA, James is the son of Kenneth and the late Vivian Springer. James was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, son and brother. An inspiration to all who knew him, Jim exuded positivity and was the first to lend a helping hand or exchange a kind word. After being diagnosed with cancer, Jim picked up running and enjoyed participating in 5-10K races (especially races that benefitted cancer aid or research). He loved training and running outdoors and could usually be found sporting a souvenir t-shirt from one of his many runs. An avid golfer, Jim also spent much of his life learning the game from his father and passing on his knowledge to his youngest daughter. A dedicated CPA, Jim faithfully served his clients and established great friendships throughout the years. Jim loved to spend time with his beloved wife, Cally; his daughters, Michelle and Jessica; and granddaughters, Avrie, Isla and Sophie. A true family man, Jim was a rock - steadfast and supportive to those closest to him. James is also survived by his father, Kenneth Springer; his brother, Kenneth Springer; sister, Susan Leffler; sister-in-law, Anne Marie Springer; brother in law, Gary Leffler; brother-in-law, Michael Sattler; sister-in-law, Kathleen Strickler; son-in-law, Kyle Hassler, and many nieces and nephews. Kopicki-Bradley Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements. A celebration of life service is being arranged; family and friends will be notified of the details. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can me made to the American Cancer Society.

Jim was our accountant for over thirty years dating back to his office on Schuylkill Avenue. Jim professionalism was only outclassed by his warmth and friendliness. Over the years he helped us with many problems and was never too busy to answer questions. We were deeply saddened to learn of Jim's passing, as he was a fine and wonderful person. Our deepest condolences to Jim's family.

Jim's business was next to me on Schuylkill. Ave. in the 80ies. He was a very nice person and a good friend. I didn't see him for years, and was shocked when I put it all together. Rest in Peace Jim.

My sympathy to Cally and the rest of the family. I attended Kutztown with Jim and we both took a giant step and went to North Carolina for our first public accounting jobs. It was a huge benefit to have someone with his enthusiasm, energy, and smile in the same town. I'm sad to hear that he is gone. He will be missed.
