FRANK PETER JAMES JR.

BRISTOL — Frank Peter James Jr., 74, passed away on Monday, May 2, 2022, from complications from a stroke.

He was born on Sept. 22, 1947, in Middletown, Conn., the son of the late Frank and Agatha (Cartinelli) James Sr. of Bristol.

Frank is survived by his wife of 21 years, Veronica (Davis) James of Bristol; his two sons, Frank and Amy James of Forest Dale and Eric James of Bristol; three grandchildren, Sadie, Connor and Isaac; four stepchildren, Paula and Tim Steady of Shoreham, Vera Vincent of Bristol, Bobbie Jo and Richard Sawyer of New Haven, and James Vincent of Bristol; two brothers, Robert James of Bristol and Gary and Barb James of Bristol; a sister, Sally Rublee of Florida; and 11 step-grandchildren and seven great-step-grandchildren.
