James Buel Obituary

Buel, James W.
NASSAU - James William Buel was born on October 2, 1983, and died unexpectedly on December 27, 2024. He was the beloved son of Shirley and James Joseph Buel; brother of Cheryl Buel Clark (Jeffrey); and uncle of Sophia Clark. He was predeceased by his father and maternal and paternal grandparents. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Jim graduated from Columbia High School, briefly attended college and then began his working career at Broadview (S.E.F.C.U.) in 2004. Over the years he held various positions, including Service Professional, Assistant Branch Manager, and Relationship Banker.
Jim loved his family, friends and pets, Samantha, Louie and Caspar. He was a lifetime fan of the N.Y. Mets, N.Y. Giants, and the N.Y. Rangers. He also loved music of many genres including the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Jim loved learning about his Irish heritage, especially after a trip to Ireland and the British Isles. He was a kind and generous person who struggled with several chronic health conditions from childhood.

I remember Jim fondly at SEFCU. He helped us on several occasions. He was a very bright young man who took his job seriously. Jim had quite a following at the bank because customers would wait for Jim because of his good reputation.
I am so profoundly sorry for the loss of your dear son Jim.
