Obituary of James R Paddock III

James R. Paddock III, 73, of Dingmans Ferry, PA, formerly of Mahwah, NJ, passed away on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at Newton Medical Center in Newton, NJ.  As a young man, James honorably served in the United States Navy.  James was the Director of Facilities Management at Barnert Hospital in Paterson, NJ, where he dedicated many years of service and hard work. 

 

Born on September 21, 1951, in Ridgewood, NJ, James was the son of the late James R. Paddock II and Patricia (Hauck) Paddock. He was married to Joanne Paddock (Carr) for 46 years, with whom he shared a life full of love and adventure.

 

Jim found joy in the simple pleasures of life—spending time with his daughters and grandchildren, watching an old movie, casting a fishing line, hunting, and riding his motorcycle with Joanne on the back.  He had a kind heart and his love for his family was unwavering.  

 

James is survived by his loving wife, Joanne Paddock; his daughters, Rachel Dunne and her husband James, Kelly Paddock Ashmawy and her husband Omar, Jamie Walk and her husband Eric, and Erin Opacic and her partner John; 14 cherished grandchildren Kayla, McKaela, Jacob, Vanessa, Ava, Brady, Lucas, Lilah, James, Sabrina, Stefan, Marissa, Tristan, & Alanna; one great-grandchild Iliana; his beloved sister, Sharon MacRoy and her husband Charles. 

James was predeceased by his parents and his brother George Paddock. 

 

A viewing will be held on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, from 2 to 4 PM at Stroyan Funeral Home, 405 W. Harford St., Milford, PA. A service will follow at 4 PM. 

 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Saint Jude's Children’s Hospital (www.stjude.org).

 

James’ memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. May he forever ride free on the open country road.
