James Walter Plowman

It is with great sadness that the family of James (Jimmy or Jim) Walter Plowman announces his passing after a brief-non-covid illness, on Friday, December 25, 2020, at the age of 68 years. Jimmy will be lovingly remembered by his sister Elizabeth, children, Jim (Jamie), Gary, Heather, son-in-law, Chris, nephews, Ryan, Kyle, and Cody, family-like friends Barbara and family, coworkers, and many others.

Jimmy will also be fondly remembered by his grandchildren, Jim (little Jamie), Branden, Hunter, Hampton, Harper, Cali, and family-like granddaughter, Molly. Jimmy was predeceased by his parents James S. and Edyth S. (Goodsell), and siblings Geoffrey and Susanne.

Jimmy is known for his generosity, hardworking-work ethic, physical strength, and overall good health. In earlier years, Jimmy participated and excelled as a triathlete. He competed in multiple Boston Marathons and Triathlons, was an avid skier, and enjoyed playing golf.

Jimmy grew up in Longmeadow, Massachusetts. He graduated with a horticulture degree from Stockbridge School of Agriculture at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He began his career path at American Linen (AmeriPride) in 1976. After over 20 years in management, he sought out alternative employment with G.R. Nowell & Son, Inc. for another 20 years.

Jimmy enjoyed the outdoors. His children have fond-family memories of camping, hunting, boating, and skiing. He spent a great deal of time in Lancaster, New Hampshire at his good friend, Barbara's, family camp. Jimmy biked to work when the weather permitted, and "walked the pond" daily, in Woburn, Massachusetts. 

Jimmy was a supportive brother, loving father, generous grandfather, loyal friend, and dedicated employee. He will be sincerely missed. Until we meet again…
