In Remembrance Jim  Powers
X
JAMES F. “JIM” POWERS JR. – Of Bedford and Florida, formerly of Woburn, died peacefully, with family by his side at home, April 21st , at the age of sixty-eight.
Raised in Woburn, Jim was son of the late James F. and Virginia T. (Moran) Powers. Jim was a graduate of Woburn High School, where he served as a class officer and played varsity football – a sport he always loved.
Jim spent much of his life doing what he loved – running his car dealership with honesty, heart and a commitment to people. He grew the business into one of the most trusted dealerships in the area.
More than just a businessman, Jim was a remarkable boss. He treated his employees like family – remembering birthdays, checking in on their kids. For many, working at his dealership wasn’t just a job, it was a place where they felt valued, supported, and proud to show up every day.
Jim had a passion for community and was always finding ways to give back. He and his daughter arranged coat drives and donated to Toys for Tots annually. A philanthropist, he donated to the Boys and Girls Club, and the Woburn Host Lions Club.
Beyond his work, Jim was a devoted family man. He often enjoyed family get-togethers that ended in dancing to the Beatles in the kitchen, Sunday cookouts with his siblings and morning coffee and donuts on the porch in Maine.
In Florida Jim loved to open his home to host unforgettable parties filled with friends, family, and laughter. With his love of music he would hire a Frank Sinatra impersonator or even take the microphone himself. Anyone who knew Jim knows that one of his life’s passions was golf. He would golf every chance he got, whether it was a weekly standing plan with his friends, an annual golftournament in Maine, or teaching his step-son Leo.
Those who knew Jim will remember his warm smile, thoughtful advice, and his ability to light up a room and make everyone feel seen and heard. He leaves behind a legacy of compassion, leadership, and deep love that will continue to live on in the hearts of those he touched.
Jim was the beloved husband of Maria (Ghione) Powers. Devoted father of Yasmin Powers of Boston, cherished step-father of Leonardo Reposa, Olivia Reposa, and Lorenzo Reposa. Dear brother of Thomas Powers, Nancy Riley, her late husband Daniel; Virginia Ginny” Middleton, her husband David – all of Woburn. Jim is also lovingly survived by many nieces and nephews
A Funeral Mass will be held, Thursday, MAY 1st at 10 a.m., in St. Barbara’s Church, 138 Cambridge Road, Woburn. Interment in Wildwood Cemetery, Winchester. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to Calling hours, Wednesday evening, April 30th, 4-7 p.m., in the Lynch-Cantillon Funeral Home, 263 Main Street, Woburn. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made in Jim’s memory to the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Nashua, One Positive Place, Nashua, NH 03060.

Joseph A. Mitchell
December 18th, 1948 to July 25th, 2017
Father – Mentor – Friend – You are in our hearts.
Joseph “Joe”, “Joey”, “Mitchell” Anthony Mitchell, age 68, of Nashua, New Hampshire, passed away peacefully on Tuesday July 25, 2017 at the Community Hospice House in Merrimack, New Hampshire after a 23-year battle with prostate cancer. He is survived by his beloved wife Madonna (Jenkins) Mitchell of Nova Scotia, Canada, with whom he recently celebrated his 46th wedding anniversary.
Joe was born December 18, 1948 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Anthony and Mary Mitchell and was an only child. He graduated Rindge Latin Technical School in 1966 and went on to earn an Engineering degree from Northeastern University in Boston.
Joe had 45 years of experience in the automotive industry and was well accomplished and respected by those he worked with. He started his career in 1970 at Boston Volvo and also worked Peter Hallissy Chevrolet in Chelmsford, MA and 1400 Motors in Lowell, MA. His last 25 years were spent at Sunnyside Acura in Nashua, New Hampshire as General Manager and Vice President. He regarded the team at Sunnyside Acura as family and, through his leadership, they achieved many accolades together.
Joe loved helping others and supported numerous causes in and around the Boston area both personally and professionally. He led a prostate cancer support group at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center for 15 years. Joe served as a member of the State of New Hampshire New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board, representing dealers across the state. He enjoyed many years with the Toastmasters Club. He was a member of the Rotary Club of Nashua West and he supported the Meals on Wheels program.
He was an accomplished pilot and loved flying; he frequently flew Cessna aircraft out of Nashua Airport – Boire Field. He was health conscious and enjoyed exercising at the gym, running, and biking. He came to love Cape Cod during his childhood, especially Hyannis, Massachusetts, and continued to be drawn back there throughout his life, more recently sharing that love with his two grandchildren, Jonah and Sydney. He also had fond memories of the many miles driven and time spent with in-laws in Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Family was the most important thing to Joe. He loved spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren; he cherished his role as grandfather, affectionately known as Grampy. He is also survived by his daughter Stacey Renee (Mitchell) Keumurian, her husband Stephen and their two children Jonah Joseph and Sydney Elizabeth of Tyngsborough, Massachusetts; and his son Jeffrey Joseph Mitchell of Nashua, New Hampshire. In addition he is survived by many loving members of the McIntyre family of Manchester, New Hampshire; the Clarkson family of Southern California; the Jenkins family of Nova Scotia, Canada; and the Antonelli family of the Boston area. He also leaves behind many friends and neighbors who he cared for deeply.

Sunnyside Acura Team Member Since 6/23/03.
I grew up in Acton, MA and moved to Nashua about six years ago. I joined Sunnyside Acura in 2003 with this being my first entry in the automotive business. My background is in Accounting, but I enjoy the interaction with customers leading me to join Sunnyside Acura.
I enjoy skiing during the winter and am a Certified Level 3 ski instructor having taught skiing since 1975 while in college. For fun I am in an adult ski race league during the winter, and play some tennis and golf during the spring, summer, and fall. I have three great kids, although I really can’t call them kids anymore. My older daughter graduated from Holy Cross in 2010 and now lives in Massachusetts with her husband who just completed a four year tour in the Air Force. My younger graduated from Holy Cross in 2013 and works for a non profit organization in Maine. My son lives in Maine and is currently taking college courses.
My focus is to earn your business and make sure that all your needs are being met. In addition, building a long term relationship is important in order to grow the business.
I appreciate the opportunity to meet you and explore how our line of Acura vehicles will meet and exceed your needs.
