James A. McAvoy Jr. Obituary
We are sad to announce that on January 8, 2021 we had to say goodbye to James A. McAvoy Jr. of Melrose, Massachusetts. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, James A. McAvoy, Sr. and Katherine McAvoy; his grandson Patrick; his daughter Carol; his wife Doris May (O'Connor); his son James D. McAvoy (Pamela) of Saco, ME; his grandchildren, Alice, Hannah and Daniel J. McAvoy (Candice Gemski) of Medfield, MA; his great grandchildren, Sophia and Carol E. O'Leary (Jerard) of Saugus, MA; Madelyn, Matthew, Peter J. McAvoy of Harwich, MA, Connor, Kathryn, Patrick M. McAvoy (Ellen) of Melrose, MA, Seamus, Griffin, Bridget and Aiden.
Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic greatly impacted Jim's life at Brooksby. The isolation caused by the pandemic impaired Jim's social life and prevented visits from the five children and eleven grandchildren who all live in New England and continued to visit Jim on a regular basis when he moved to Brooksby.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, friends and family members send donations to the Xaverian Brothers 4409 Frederick Ave Baltimore, MD 21229 410-644-0034, the order that provided for Jim's early education at Malden Catholic High School and for the education of four of his five children.
