James Farley Obituary
Jim served in the U.S. Navy and was honorably discharged. He worked as an X-Ray Technician at L&M Hospital. He was known never to miss work, no matter what. He loved his job, his coworkers, and the patients to whom he gave his utmost care. Jim was a smart and generous man. He lived by the rule "It's better to give than receive". That rule also applied as an animal lover. He took care of dogs, cats, possums, ground hogs and even skunks. He will be forever missed.
Besides his wife, Lisa, he is survived by his father, James Sr.; step sons, Mitchell Werthman, Alec Ake Sr., and Bradley Ake; mother-in-law, Loretta Yoho; and four grandchildren, Dominic, Balabin, Alec Jr., and Mark. Jim was preceded in death by his mother, Marsha and his sister, Heather.

My heart is very heavy hearing of Jimmy's passing. Our family lived next door to his home in Beaver, Pa. He was part of a AMAZING childhood neighborhood of 20 plus kids and back then, known as the kindest, most gentle and polite kid on the block . I always wondered where Jim moved. Where he ended? Married? Children? No one EVER knew... time separated us all. God now has him wrapped in his arms. Praying that you all
can find comfort in knowing that he is resting peacefully and what a true example of a good man that impacted many.

Even when Jim was sick due to his treatments, he was at work. At one time is was just he and Will running things for our Department as we underwent a told rotation of staff. Those hard times- never a complaint. He stayed in the field after Military life had come to an end. Always one with a dirty joke. So sorry for the loss of this wonderful person. Deeply sorry to hear of his passing. Sincere condolences to all family and friends-and co-workers at L&M and our sailors from NBHC Groton both local and far away.

I had the very great pleasure of working with Jim on the night shift. He always had a smile, a kind word, and was the utmost professional always. He was gentle & compassionate with his patients. The world was a better place because of this man.
Sending my condolences to his wife, and family.

It doesn't make sense or feel fair that he was taken so young. May it be of some comfort that he apparently left such an amazing mark on peoples lives. I didn't know him, but reading the comments left by everyone makes me wish I had. Peace, comfort, and prayers to you and your family.

My heart is heavy with sadness....Jim, you were such an amazing man...so gentle and kind, so loving and giving...one of the nicest people I have ever met. Our family was blessed to have you in it....you loved our niece and nephews unconditionally, and treated my sister, Loretta, with such compassion. The world was better because you were here, lives were changed because of your kindness. I'm so blessed to have known you. RIP Jim....Love you, Aunt Pat.
