Obituary for James Robert Hayes

Hayes, James Robert (July 23, 1947- October 23, 2022)

James passed away peacefully Sunday October 23, 2022, at the age of 75, after a long battle with Parkinson’s. James was born July 23, 1947, to Robert and Mary Ann Hayes in Milwaukee, WI. He graduated from Pius High School, in Milwaukee in 1965, where he excelled in track and field, which he still holds a school record that will never be broken (the 180-yard low hurdles!)

Long time loyal member of Local 19 Heat & Frost Insulators Union. James will be fondly remembered for his sense of humor, love for golf (playing 18 holes a day), riding his Harley Davidson as well as hunting and fishing. He enjoyed living in The Villages, where he was able to golf and sing karaoke every day!

He was predeceased by his mother Mary Ann and father Robert. James is survived by his daughter Jamie, former spouse Lynn, brother Michael, sisters Patty, Peggy, Debbie, Mary, Kathy, and Tracy, as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends.
