James J. Conley, Jr. Service Information

James J. Conley, Jr., of Richboro, Pennsylvania entered into eternal peace on Sunday, March 22, 2020 at home surrounded by his family. He was 79.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife and best friend of 50 years Rosemarie E. Conley, and he was the devoted son of the late James and Elizabeth (McDermott) Conley.  James is survived by his loving children and their spouses; Rosemarie Boutilier and her husband Jason, James Conley and his wife Michele. James was also survived by his six grandchildren: Timothy; James, Jr.; Brendan; Joseph; John-Patrick; and Cassie Rose, by his siblings, Elizabeth Ann Sullivan (Dennis); Joan Roman (Michael); Gerard Conley (Maria); Joseph Conley (Theresa); Michael Conley (Susan), by numerous nieces and nephews, and by many special extended family and friends.

James was born on January 9, 1941 in Juniata Park, Philadelphia, attended Holy Innocents Catholic School, and graduated from North Catholic High School, Villanova University and Temple University. James resided for many years with his family in Richboro.

James was a partner and co-founder of Liberty Graphics Systems, Inc. for over 25 years before retiring. James was an adjunct professor at Saint Joseph’s University and Holy Family College where he taught Business Purchasing and Marketing. In his retirement years, James worked as the business manager for Saint Ephrem Catholic Church in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.

James loved spending time with his wife and traveling companion Rosemarie as they would always look for new and exciting locations to discover together. Whether they were cruising to an exotic location around the world, taking in a Notre Dame football game in South Bend, catching numerous Phillies Spring Training games, or heading down to Wildwood Crest, the destination never mattered as long as they were together. As a fan of all of the Philadelphia sports teams, especially Villanova basketball, James always donned a hat or some other form of regalia honoring his beloved teams. Each New Year’s Day, James could be found doing the Mummer’s strut to his favorite String Band, Ferko, on Broad Street or in his living room.

James’ most treasured times were spent with his family.  He loved and adored his six grandchildren. “Pop” would go to as many sporting events, robotics competitions, and concerts that he was able to attend. He loved playing cards with the kids, telling them old stories and challenging them to bocce games on the beaches of Wildwood Crest.  Time spent with his family brought him so much joy and happiness.

Funeral services and interment will be announced at a later date.
