James OMEY Obituary
James A.
James A. Omey, age 69, of Toledo, passed away peacefully September 13, 2016, in Frisco, TX while doing what he loved best, spending time with his family. Jim was born May 22, 1947, in Toledo to the late Franklin and Margaret (Custer) Omey. He graduated from Woodward High School in 1966 and spent his career as a sheet metal worker and foreman with Local 33. Some of the projects he worked on included Flower and St. Anne's Hospitals. Never one to sit still, he was currently employed part-time at Unistrut Corp. in Toledo.
Jim was a longtime member of Grace Lutheran Church, a member of Sylvania Pyramid Lodge 287 and Past Worshipful Master of Harbor Light Lodge 746 F. & A.M. In his free time, he enjoyed traveling with his wife and fishing. He looked forward to his yearly trip with his sons and grandsons to Fletcher's Pond. Jim found his greatest joy in spending time with his seven grandchildren and watching their various sporting events. He will be remembered for his kind, generous and fun-loving personality and for the deep compassion and care he offered others.
Jim is lovingly survived by his best friend and wife of 49 years, Nancy A. Omey; children, Todd (Kristi) and Kevin (Darla) Omey, and Jennifer (Tony) Attanasio; beloved grandchildren, Kyler, Kelsi, Kennedy, Kolten, Chase, Trey and Cole; brother, Lee (Judy) Omey; and sister, Wavel (Bob) Grzegorzewski.

Mrs. Omey and Family, I am saddened to learn of Mr. Omey's passing. A dedicated family man, he was one of the postive father figures I had growing up playing hockey at the Ice House. My thoughts are with you, Todd, and Kevin and I pray that the memories you have will comfort you for years to come.

My Condolences to his family and friends.
I worked with Jim until his retirement form East Side Sheet Metal. I enjoyed and was surprised when I call Unistrut on day that Jim answered the phone. It was nice to catch up with him after all these years
