On Thursday, September 17, James “Jim”, age 56, of Indiana passed away. Beloved son of the late James L. Sweeney and Mary Helen (London) Sweeney Hill. Loving father of Laura M. Sweeney of Gainesville, FL. Dear brother of Robert (Jeanne) Sweeney, Cathy (Tom) Kitchen, Debbie (Jerry) Lingenfelter, and of the late Pat Sweeney and Darlene Padgett (all of Indiana). Brother-in-law of Paula Sweeney of Fountain Inn, SC, and Larry Padgett of Elyria, OH; Also numerous nieces and nephews.
Jim was a graduate of Indiana Area High School and of Triangle Tech, where he earned his HVAC certification and then started his own business while assisting his mother in operating her business of BP Inn. Jim retired his business to care for his mother after she fell ill. After his mother passed, Jim briefly worked as an over-the-road truck driver but found that he missed caregiving. Jim then worked as a caretaker for the elderly and disabled and was the recipient of many awards for his skills. Jim enjoyed preparing gourmet meals, and it gave him great joy to lavish his creations on friends and family.
