Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church on Sunday, Sept. 21, 2008.

Loving father of Jennifer Carnaghi (fiancé Travis Brummett) of Carthage, Mo. Beloved son of the late Carl and Minnie Carnaghi. Nephew of Clara and Vito Caradonna and the late Carol and Joseph Matreci. Cousin to Tom and Paul Caradonna,  and the late Janet Matreci.

Jim was a devoted son who lovingly cared for his father for the past eight years. He proudly served his country as a U.S. Marine in Vietnam.

Jim was an avid hockey player and enjoyed playing golf. His sense of humor and willingness to help a person in need will be profoundly missed by his family, close friends from St. Michael’s, co-workers, and neighbors, but will live forever in our hearts.

Memorial Service will be at Seven Holy Founders Catholic Church on Monday, Sept. 29, 2008, at 10 a.m. St. Louis, Mo.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations in memory of Jim to Pathways Community Hospice, 14805 N. Outer 40 Road Chesterfield, Mo. 63017.
