Mr. James F. Hameline, 89, passed away peacefully on September 23, 2021. James was born in Utica, proudly served in the US Army during the Korean War and for many years, was the owner of Central NY Plumbing Supply in Utica. We will all treasure memories of a man who was a kind and loving presence in our lives. Jim was a traditional, quiet and strong man, who loved to share a joke with family and friends or tell stories of the fun and mischief, like water skiing in the dark, in the lakes and channels in Old Forge. He loved to show up unexpectedly, with supplies from a recent trip to the store. His greatest joy was being a kind and loving grandfather to his cherished grandchildren. He always had a smile, while he watched and listened to us laughing and talking when we gathered, and was always in attendance at any game or event in their Lives. Mr. Hameline is survived by his children; Julie (Mike) Williamson of Whitesboro and Jim (April) Hameline of NY Mills; son-in-law, John Huber of NJ; loving grandchildren, Amanda, Matt, Nick, Michael, Cody, Josh, Zachary and Luke; sister-in-law, Kathy (Mike) Belluccio; brother-in-law, James (Carmel) Vedete, as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 58 years, Anne Hameline; daughter, Jody Huber and sister, Joan Kruegar. Mr. Hameline’s family, extends their heartfelt gratitude, to the staff at the Masonic Care Community, Woodgate Household , and to his nurse Nancy, for the kind and patient care you provided to James.
