JAMES ALLAN NORMINGTON
July 27, 1955 – February 28, 2020
With deep sadness, we announce the passing of James A. Normington, 64, on Friday, February 28, 2020 following a battle with cancer. A resident of St. Petersburg for 24 years, Jim was one of seven children born to the late John E. Normington, Jr. and Eleanor M. (Griffith) Normington, and is survived by his dear companion and friend Christina Urrutia; brothers John Normington III (Terry) and Thomas Normington; sisters Barbara Boone (Don), Lisa Vitalo (Dave) and Sue Normington (Phil Smith); nieces Rachel Durkota (Dave) and Danielle Vitalo; and nephews Pete Boone (Sarah), Gregory Normington (Jennifer), John Normington IV, and Nicholas Normington (Francesca), in addition to great nieces and nephews.
Jim graduated from Shenendehowa High School in Clifton Park, NY, and developed entrepreneurial skills in various professions, eventually honing his knowledge and skills in medical equipment, supplies and distribution. In 2006, he founded and was the CEO of Normington Medical Inc, a health care organization located in Pinellas Park specializing in durable medical equipment and supplies, and developed a highly successful and customer-focused business. Jim also invested in real estate and developed a keen talent for purchasing and renovating residential properties in St. Petersburg.
Sports, home renovation and real estate development dominated Jim’s life. A lifelong recreational golfer and huge Tiger fan, Jim was kind, sensitive and generous, and fondly remembered for his quirky sense of humor and the sound of his laughter. With his truly unique perspective on life, he found humor in the most unusual circumstances. Never worried about the future, he lived life in the moment yet had a great vision and determination to succeed, leading to his remarkable business and financial success. Jim was a proud man with a unique ability to comfort others and remained devoted to his family and close friends throughout his adult life.
A memorial service for family and friends will be conducted Friday, March 13, 2020 in the Memorial Park Funeral Home Chapel, 5750 49th St, St. Petersburg, FL 33709 at 10:00 AM.
