James J. Clinton
October 4, 1924 — April 26, 2012
James Joseph Clinton passed away on April 26, 2012, at Akron City Hospital, surrounded by his loving family.
Jim was born on October 4, 1924, to Grace and Christopher Clinton, in Cohoes, New York.
Jim joined the U. S. Army at the age of 17 and served with honor for 23 years, including service in World War II and the Korean War. Upon retirement from the army, he embarked on a second career with Kroger Company. He retired from Kroger in 1982 and enjoyed spending time with his family and traveling in the early years of retirement.

He had a sense of humor throughout his life that delighted everyone who knew him. He was unfailingly honest, loyal and devoted to his family and his wife of almost 64 years, the love of his life, who stood by his side with enduring love and devotion as he struggled through serious illnesses.
