In Stamford, Connecticut, on September 8, 1953, he started his journey through life with the same passion and sense of community spirit that he had inherited from his parents, Frank J. Mancini (who has since died away) and Jean M. Riley Mancini. Those who had the good fortune to know him were left with an unforgettable impression after he went away in a calm and serene manner on October 14, 2021, at his residence in West Haven.
James was pleased with the achievements and the influence that Mancini and Associates had achieved while he was the owner and operator of the company. Not only did his commitment and work ethic pave the way for the establishment of a prosperous firm, but they also played a significant part in the development of long-term connections. Because of his unwavering commitment to his trade, he garnered a great deal of respect from his peers as well as his customers.
James’s passion for gardening was not merely a pastime; rather, it was an essential component of his distinct identity as a person. The affection that he had for Japanese maples and perennials extended far beyond his own personal satisfaction; he was generous enough to give them to his family and friends so that they may bring beauty into their personal spaces. There was evidence of James’s artistic ability in gardening everywhere he resided, from flowerbeds to beautiful shrubs that brought a sense of joy to communities all around the world.
James had a profound admiration for the sport of boating. The Long Island Sound became become his haven, and it was there that he would go on numerous delightful fishing trips with his sons and the friends they had. These excursions were more than simply trips for fishing; they were also opportunities for bonding experiences that were full with moments of storytelling and wonderful memories that James would never forget.
For James, his family was the most important thing in the world. In addition to being a loving granddad to Christopher and Ronan, he was a devoted father to Michael and Daniel. These relationships stood as a monument to his character, as they demonstrated his unwavering devotion, love, and support throughout their interactions with one another. James had the good fortune to travel through life with his brothers Frank and Kevin Mancini, their wives Patty and Aileen, his lifelong friend Rick Fedeli Sr., and a large number of nieces, nephews, and friends who all played an important role in both his joys and his sorrows. James was privileged to have these people by his side.
There will be a memorial service held at the Abriola Parkview Funeral Home on Thursday, October 21, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., during which the life of James will be recognized and remembered. This gathering is more than just an occasion to express sorrow; rather, it is a place where friends and family can come together to share personal experiences, laughs, and memories, as well as to find solace in one another. Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Trumbull will be the location of a graveside service on Friday morning at 10:30 AM. The purpose of the gathering is to pay tribute to James as a person whose life had an impact on many people. During this service, family and friends will have the opportunity to come together in peace to say their final goodbyes to James before he takes his final resting place.
