Jim was born on November 3, 1952 to parents Joseph and Genevieve Caliguire in Herkimer, NY.
He married Martha Murdock on July 23, 1977. Together they had their only daughter, Sarah, in 1981.
Jim was a dedicated and loving husband, father, and grandfather. He cared deeply about animals and had a special affinity for cats. He was passionate about gardening, relished playing online poker, loved consuming spicy food and drink, enjoyed playing board games by candlelight during power outages, and was known to bring a knife to a spoon fight. He was especially proud to have won the championship of the Pocket Billiards Tournament at The Golden Cue, located on North Main Street in Herkimer, where he was known as “Gentleman Jim”.
He was honored to have made so many friends during his time working at Chicago Market and during his many years as an independent antiques dealer.
Throughout his life, he held an unwavering faith in God, and he passionately shared his love for Jesus with those who surrounded him. He liked to say that, as owner of Herkimer’s Crossroads Antique Store, he was “paid in fellowship”.
Jim leaves behind an indelible mark on all those he crossed paths with.
