James Jamieson

James Lindsay Jamieson, 90, of Killingworth, passed away on Sunday, July 21, 2024, at Artis Senior Living of Branford after almost two years of residency. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, son of the late Dorothy (Young) and Duncan Jamieson.

James was raised in Queens, New York, and later resided in other towns in New York, before he moved to Killingworth in 1980. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Clarkson University in business administration and electrical engineering. James retired from Prime Technology in 2020 after a 60-year career.

James enjoyed umpiring softball games, being a goal judge for Yale hockey, riding motorcycles, collecting antique cars, and card games like cribbage and setback. Though he suffered with Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia near the end of his life, he never ceased in his desire to make friends, actively making new connections through the end of his life.

James is survived by LaQueta Jamieson, his wife of Killingworth; Duncan Jamieson, his brother of Ashland, Ohio; Duncan Scott Jamieson, his son of Larchmont, New York; Francis Jamieson, his son of Marmaroneck, New York; Douglas Jamieson, his son of Stamford; Lindsay Jamieson, his daughter of Middletown; and Christopher Jamieson, his son of Killingworth; in addition, his grandchildren: Kelly, Jack, Andrew, Bridget, and Phoebe Jamieson, and Walker and Tessa Veale. He was predeceased by his parents, brother David Jamieson, and son James Whitman Jamieson.

Thank you to the doctors, administrators, nurses, and staff at Artis Senior Living in Branford for taking excellent care of James through the end of his life. The family extends their heartfelt thanks to James’ friends and colleagues, many of whom affectionally called him “Mr. J” or “Jim.”

A celebration of life will be held between 1 and 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12, at his home, 79 Hemlock Drive, in Killingworth.
