James A. Crielly, III, age 83, passed away peacefully at his home in Marcus Hook where he had lived his whole life. Jim was a 1961 graduate of Archmere Academy and went on to have a career at the US Postal Service. He was a quiet man with a positive attitude who enjoyed traveling and had visited 48 states. He enjoyed watching the ships on the river, cheering for the Eagles and Phillies, and his daily visits to the Sungate Diner.
Jim was predeceased by his parents, James and Marie (Kerr) Crielly. He is survived by many cousins and his dear friend, Kevin McDonough, III, who thought of Jim as his grandfather and brought Jim great joy in his later years. Funeral services and burial will be held at a later time.

I grew up with Jim ever since i was born. He raised me and took care of me and i never felt so loved and cared for by someone. He was the most caring, kindest, loving man i ever met. Jim was my best friend. He did everything for me. He taught me everything like him teaching me all about football and basketball. We would call every thursday. He was the best man that could have possibly walked in my life. I will love you forever you will be miss rest in peace.
So sorry to hearof Jim’s passing. I remember seeing him and his mom at the di er in Hook. RIP
I’ve known Jim for over 22 years. I met him at the Sungate Diner, which he visited on the daily. Jim was quiet yet friendly and very humble. I enjoyed knowing and talking with him throughout the years. May you rest in eternal peace Jim. You will be missed.
Jimmy was our cousin, he was a very sweet gentle man. Always showed me and my family love and friendship. Always cared. Kevin was the most important person in Jimmys life, when Jimmy and I would talk he would always give us updates of what was new with Kevin. Kevin thank you for making Jimmy happy and feel
