James Guy Lacava (Jimbo) age 43 died peacefully in his sleep at his Bayville home. Jim was born in Paterson and raised in the Packanack Lake Section of Wayne.
A graduate of Immaculate Heart of Mary grammar school, and DePaul Catholic High School, he attended the University of North Carolina and Widener University where he was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. He was a sales manager for the Oceanside Mortgage, Forked River holding licenses in many states.
Athletically inclined he played baseball, basketball and football at DePaul. They were his fondest memories. He was selected for the All-Passaic County Football team in 1984. Jim also pitched for the Wayne A’s a Metropolitan Baseball Semi-Pro team for several years. He also participated in the CYO and PAL programs as a youth. An avid New York Giant and Yankee fan, his football tailgate parties are legendary.
Fishing was his summertime love along with golf. Trips to Key West, FL and the Outer Banks in NC were his favorite. He also enjoyed and was quite good at playing darts.
Jim was a loyal, trusted, and wonderful friend to all who knew him. He loved being with his shore contingent and organizing dart leagues, fantasy football pools, and cooking for these groups. He was their leader and will be surely missed by all.
He was active in the Loyal Order of Moose, Lodge #399, Seaside Heights, the National Saltwater Anglers and active alumni of the University of North Carolina Tar Heels.
He is survived by his parents James S. and Beatrice (McCauley) Lacava; devoted brother of Lynn and her husband Eric Kahn of Florham Park and Beth DeMayo of Lincoln Park; cherished uncle of Amanda-Marie DeMayo and Nicole and Courtney Kahn; loved nephew of Letitia Pellosie of Hawthorne; loving cousin to Carmine O. Pellosie, III and his wife Jennifer of Brick; loving companion of Jennifer Maino of Bayville.
