James MUTASCIO Obituary

MUTASCIO, James Peter

"Big Jim" 70, of Tampa, FL passed away May 29, 2019 at his home. Jim, a former Navy Seal, and a highly decorated hero, served his country with distinction and honor. He was a member of The Krewe of The Knights of Sant' Yago. He took great pleasure in serving as "Buco the Clown" for the shriners. Jim proudly worked for Kauffman/Treadmaxx for over 20 years. Jim quietly took every opportunity to serve others, always ready to help a friend in need and never looked for anything in return. Jim is survived by his loving wife, Caroline; five daughters, Tanya, Lisa, Gina, Kim, and Suzy; 11 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. Private burial services will be held.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I'm going to miss you, Dad... you made my adopted mom, Caroline, so happy in the short amount of time she got to spend with you... I know you're now free of pain but I wish you didn't have to leave us so soon... you will be enormously missed and forever loved... I know I'll see you again someday... until that day comes please watch over me and my family, and especially my mom... she deserved the best and you gave that to her... I'm so thankful she had you to love and you showed her the enormous amount of love that only you could have given her... until we meet again, Dad...
