Bill James
May 22, 1967-October 15, 2024

Bill was our husband and father who we delighted in watching devote his lifetime to guide, coach, teach, and uplift numerous athletes, students, and adults over his 30 years in the Methuen Public Schools.  We hope that his lessons and examples will continue to inspire all those who benefited from him as much as he benefited from them.

Our family is deeply thankful to all who returned that same love and care when we needed it most.  We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your kindness in keeping us in your thoughts and prayers, sending cards, meaningful gifts, donating to the Bill James Wrestling Scholarship, and helping in many other ways both big and small. Each and every one of you have made a profound impact on our lives.

Bill’s legacy and memory will live on and he would be so honored to know how supported and cared for we are.

The community’s love, kindness and unwavering support has brought us great comfort during this difficult time and will forever be remembered.

Thank you!

The James Family

Laurie, Erica and Brock
