James Joseph Howell, a cherished son, brother, and lifelong resident of Hull, Massachusetts, passed away on September 12, 2024. Born in Weymouth, MA, he proudly served our country.
Jim demonstrated his commitment to service by joining the Army immediately after graduation. His time in the military instilled in him values that he carried throughout his life. After his service, he embarked on a successful career, working for notable companies such as Raytheon in Quincy and Zildjian in Norwell, where he was respected for his dedication and work ethic.
Jim is survived by his father, James, who resides in Ohio, and his mother, Anita, from Hull. He also leaves behind his beloved sister, Cheryl, of Hanover.
As we remember James Joseph Howell, we celebrate a life marked by devotion, service, and love for family. He will be deeply missed by those who had the privilege to know him.
A private service for Jim will be held at a later time.
