The Town of Medway extends our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of James Coakley. Fondly known as Jimmy, he was a cherished presence in Town Hall. He always brought smiles and laughter during his frequent visits to the Building Department. His kindness, humor, and unwavering dedication to his work left a lasting impact on everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

For the past 25 years (to be confirmed), we were fortunate to work alongside Jimmy as Medway's Chief Plumber and Gas Inspector, where his expertise, professionalism, and friendly demeanor made him an invaluable part of our community. As a Master Plumber and Coakley Plumbing & Heating owner, Jimmy was more than just a trusted tradesperson—he was a familiar and welcome presence in countless homes across town. Whether fixing a leak or sharing a lighthearted joke, he brought warmth and reliability to every interaction. Jimmy's legacy of service, friendship, and good humor will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
