James "Jim" M. Lamoreaux

James “Jim” M. Lamoreaux, 71, of Greenwich, OH lived his entire life on Boughtonville Road until his big move to Heaven on Monday, April 22, 2024.  He was born to the late Dale and Wilma (Cole) Lamoreaux in 1952.

Jim was a 1971 graduate of South Central High School, where he played football, basketball, and baseball.  After graduating, he enlisted in the Air National Guard, where he spent 6 years serving his country.  Jim worked construction, working several years at ACME Paving and Sealing.  He retired as a Greenwich Village employee, where he proudly served his community.

Jim was an avid sports fan, rooting for the Browns, Indians, and most importantly, the South Central Trojans.  His license plate indicated his loyalty as a fan of SC Sports.  He served on the SC Football chain crew for 49 years, only ending his career due to his illness.

Jim’s love of the Lord only intensified as his diagnosis of ALS progressed.  He loved God, his family, and his friends.  Jim’s favorite place to be was in the woods, running his chainsaw, or driving his nieces and nephews on his 4-wheeler.  His tractors were his prized possessions.

Jim is survived by his brother Gene (Sandy) Lamoreaux, sister, Lucille (Dan) Hartman, sister Linda Teglovic, sister Denise (Michael) Robinson, sister Lynette (Bryan) Hamman, and brother Frank (Kelly) Lamoreaux, along with 13 nieces and nephews, and several great-nieces and nephews.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, his sister, Danielle, and his nephew, Ryan S. Teglovic. 

Visitation will be held on Thursday, April 25, 2024 from 5-8 p.m. at the New London Alliance Church, 4625 St Rt 162 East, New London, where his Funeral Service will be held on Friday, April 26, at 11:00 a.m.  Burial will follow at the Edwards Grove Cemetery in Greenwich.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be directed to the South Central Athletic Department, 3305 Greenwich Angling Rd, Greenwich, OH or to the ALS Association of Northeast Ohio to help find a cure, 6133 Rockside Road, Unit 301, Independence, OH 44131.  2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”.  Fond memories and online condolences may be shared with the family at www.eastmanfuneralhome.com.
