Mr. James Herbert Bunn's Obituary
James H. Bunn, age 93, who lived in New Port Richey (formerly of Largo) Florida, passed away peacefully the afternoon of September 19th, 2014.
A man who was so dedicated to the service of and protection of our country, James served on submarines in 3 wars with the US Navy starting back in WWII. After his military service he was a diesel engine mechanic who taught many others to repair machinery and engines.
As an avid reader, you'd see him turning the pages of anything his hands could hold and his eyes could see. James loved to tell stories about his many years in the Navy and his work fixing machinery to keep things moving. Often he would reminisce with family and friends of things he'd seen and places he'd been.
He is predeceased by his lovely wife, Shirley, who was the manager of the Environmental Services Dept at Suncoast Hospital, having been there for 25 years. James leaves behind two sons, Ronald and James as well as four daughters, Beverly Jean Joyce and Barbara Ann Melnick of Florida, Sandra Lee Miele of Pennsylvania and Cheryl Lynn Wojtkielwicz of Missouri. Also surviving are 16 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren.
Services will be held at Memorial Park Funeral Home.
