James Joseph Cummins, Jr., 91, and a longtime resident of Littleton, passed away peacefully on April 24, 2021, surrounded by his loved ones. He is the beloved husband of Caroline (Raffi) Cummins, his first and only love.

Jim was born in Boston, MA on April 14, 1930, a son of the late James Sr. and Helena (Stone) Cummins. He was raised in Roslindale, MA and attended Hyde Park High School.
