James E. Carroll, age 74, of Egg Harbor and formerly of Bayonne and Jersey City, died on Saturday, November 14, 2015.
Born and raised in Jersey City, Jim had been a resident of Bayonne before moving to Egg Harbor. He was a 1958 graduate of Snyder High School in Jersey City.
From the time Jim could remember, he had a love for trains. In fact, he wanted to work for a train company so bad, when he went for his first job he was too young, so he misrepresented his age on the job application to get the job sooner. Jim ultimately did get that job and his career as a train conductor spanned forty years working for various train lines due to mergers and acquisitions, most recently with NJ Transit until retiring in 2000.
Besides trains, Jim loved beautiful American cars. He had some sharp looking convertibles when he was younger as well as a classic T-Bird and Monte Carlo. He also loved taking in nights in New York City.
Surviving are his former wife Susan Carroll of Wayne; two daughters and one son: Michele and husband Anthony Gowers of Wayne, Laurie Cox and companion John Patten of Point Pleasant, and Scott and wife Faith Carroll of Allentown, PA; eight grandchildren: Brooke, Paige, Sydney, Eddie, Rachel, Connor, Dylan, and Avery; three sisters: Marie and husband Mike Feehan of Hasbrouck Heights, Barbara and husband Steve Schmidt of New Hampshire, and Denise and husband Mike Liva of Wayne; many nieces and nephews; and his wife Marilei Pavan Carroll.
