Obituary for James E. Wood Jr.

James E.  Wood Jr.
Blue Hill

James Wood Jr., 78, known by family as Jimmy J, passed away peacefully at his home on May 19, 2018 surrounded by his loving wife of 58 years Constance C. Wood and devoted family. Jimmy was born in Machias, June 24, 1939 to Isabel (Farris) and James E. Wood Sr. in Machias.

He was a graduate of Ellsworth High School class of 1957. Soon after graduation he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for 3 years. Following his military service he went on to have a long and successful career as a well known heating technician, a job he loved dearly. An avid outdoorsman and fisherman, to him there was no better place on earth than at the river with a fly rod in his hand.

He is survived by his wife Connie; son, Dennis J. Wood Sr.; daughter, Margaret Carter and husband David Carter; grandson, Dennis J. Wood Jr. and his husband Dominick Varney-Wood; granddaughter, Jamie R. Wood and partner, Barry Duffy. He is also survived by an uncle, Paul Farris and several cousins and close friends including Harold Johnston.

Along with being an amazing grandfather to Denny and Jamie he also loved two kids as if they were his own, Ryan and Barb Haskell.

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to Wanda Astbury for the love and care provided to Jimmy over the last few years of his life.

For those who would like to attend, there will be a graveside service at Pine Grove Cemetery in Sedgwick on Friday, June 1st at 1pm.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests making donations to The Alzheimer’s Association alz.org.
