James "Jim" McGill Obituary
James Joseph McGill, 78, of Mansfield Center, Connecticut, passed away peacefully on June 22, 2024, surrounded by his adoring family, after a valiant battle with cancer. He was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on April 13, 1946.

Jim grew up in West Hartford and graduated from Northwest Catholic High School. In 1967, he married Patricia, and together they raised two sons, Michael and Scott. Jim and Patricia traveled extensively throughout the world, but their cherished family vacations at the beaches of Cape Cod held a special place in his heart. Family and sports were Jim's passions. He delighted in hosting the annual family Fourth of July picnic and enthusiastically supported the Boston Red Sox and UConn sports teams. As a combat veteran, Jim honorably served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Following his military service, he earned his degree from Central Connecticut State University. Jim then dedicated four decades of his professional life to the State of Connecticut as an IT specialist, retiring in 2003.

James Joseph McGill is survived by his beloved wife, Patricia (Burns) McGill, of Mansfield Center, CT, and their two sons, Michael (Carrie) McGill and Scott (Melinda) McGill. He is also survived by his cherished grandchildren Chandler (Bailey), Aidan (Kaila), Sedona (Anthony) and Joseph, as well as his siblings John (Sherry) McGill, Noreen (Leonard) Lema, Mary Ellen Augustine, Monica McGill, Kathleen (Edward) Alexander, Elizabeth (Dennis) Cormier, and Patricia (Robert) Carlisle.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, June 28, 2024 at 10:00am at St. Joseph Church, 99 Jackson St. Willimantic, CT. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice of Eastern Connecticut.
