James B. Booker, Jim, Mr. B. or Captain to his friends, boarded the boat for Fiddler’s Green due to complications following a stroke earlier in the year.
He is survived by his daughter, Catherine (Booker) Olver and husband Micheal and their children Anthony, Hunter, and Mikayla, of Olean, N.Y.; his sister, Mary Ann (Booker) Cottrell, of Dover, N.H.; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins across the country.
Jim gave strict instructions that no funeral or services be held. However his daughter, being as stubborn as him, is holding a potluck-style wake for friends and family at the Long Cove Point Association in Chamberlain on Saturday, July 17 from 3-5 p.m. All those who knew Jim are invited to attend, bring a dish to pass, a story to tell and a drink to toast the Grumpy Old Sea Captain.
