James Charles Wood



It is with complete and utter sadness that the family of James Charles Wood announce his passing after a brief hospitalization in Port Charlotte, Florida. Jim, who was a longtime resident of North Attleboro passed away at the age of 67 on March 22nd, 2021 at the Arcadia Hospice House in Arcadia, Florida. Born July 15th, 1953 in Tampa Florida, he was the son of the late Joseph Thomas and Margaret Mary Wood of Quincy, Ma.

Jim grew up in Quincy, Ma and was a graduate from North Quincy High School. Throughout the years, he became a dedicated political advocate for the town of North Attleboro with highlighted accomplishments in serving on the Board of Selectmen, the Representative Town Meeting Committee, and Board of Trustees for the Richards Memorial Library for nearly 15 years. Jim loved aviation as he was striving to earn his pilot's license in his later years. Jim’s love for music was evident throughout his entire life as he frequently performed at local restaurant venues playing songs by The Doors, The Who, and The Beatles on his acoustic and bass guitar. Jim’s love for religion and music came together when he joined the Music Ministry at St. Martha's Parish in Plainville, MA where he played every Sunday for many years. Most importantly, Jim was a dedicated husband and father to his family who are devastated by the loss of his passing and will continue to hold memories of him so very dear to their hearts.
