Hamlin N.Y. passed away December 29, 2024 at age 75, at his home with his beloved wife at his side. He was born May 20th, 1949 to John and Jean Pearson. Jim was a retired Rochester Police Officer.
Known by many as Chief, Jimmy, Jim, Uncle Buck, Big Jim Thunder and Jim the Bobcat Guy. He leaves his forever memories and love to Meg (Kavanaugh) Pearson his wife of 35 years, Sister Frances (John) Okal, In-laws Timothy (Elizabeth) Kavanaugh, Richard Gerald (Katie) Kavanaugh, Gregory (Emy) Kavanaugh, Terry (Brenda) Kavanaugh and Mary (Brian) Driscoll. Cherished and always loved many special Nieces and Nephews, along with cousins and the brotherhood of Blue.
Jim was a devoted Yankee fan, and throughout his struggles with Alzheimer’s was comforted by watching old and new games on T.V. Since the age of 10 Jim enjoyed his family’s cottage in Canada. Later in life Jim and Meg would listen to the Yankees on the radio, fish and agree there was no other place on earth that brought them such peace and happiness.
A celebration of life will be held in the near future of which family and friends will share Jim’s presence while on this earth with memories and love.
We will always remember times spent with Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Meg at the island. We are blessed to have had Jimmy as a wonderful Uncle!

My dear Uncle Jim. The sarcasm was always plentiful. He will always remain in my memory as a tall man who appreciated daily ice cream and offering a witty side comment. I am here thinking of you.
