James Lino Jr., 92, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, October 9, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Born on June 15, 1934, to James and Mary Lino, Jim grew up in Norton, Ohio, and graduated from Norton High School in 1952. He spent 8 years in the Navy Reserve as a Seabee. He worked 42 years for Ohio Bell and later retired from Ameritech. He was a member of St. Andrew The Apostle Catholic Church in Norton, Ohio.

One of the greatest joys of Jim’s life was his marriage to his beloved wife, Beverly. Together, they shared 69 wonderful years of marriage and raised 5 children.

In his free time, Jim enjoyed woodworking, tending to his yard, and caring for the wildlife that visited his home. He was a member of the Barberton Moose, where he frequently played euchre. He will be remembered not only for the love he gave, but also for the wisdom, laughter, and stories he shared along the way.

He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Mary Lino; his son, James Lino III; his daughter and son-in-law, Phyllis and Brian Brogle; son-in-law, Greg Keller; and two great-grandchildren.

His life was a gift to his family, his love was his legacy, and his memory will live on forever.
