Obituary Highlights:
|
James D. Barron, 86, of Carrollton, passed away on July 24, 2014. Jim was born in Somerville, Massachusetts on May 31, 1928. His life had a tragic beginning, losing his father before he reached the age of five. He attended The Henry Ford School for Boys in Sudbury, where he met the school founder, industrialist Henry Ford. It was a meeting that left a positive impression upon him for his entire life. He went on to attend Ringe & Latin School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Like many of his time he eagerly pursued a role in the war effort, overstating his age, he worked his way through the merchant marines and ultimately into 11th Airborn Division by war's end. He continued his stay in the Army, serving in postwar Japan and in the Korean War. He remained in Japan after his service with the Army ended.
We recommend reading the entire obituary above about
an illustrious career. |
