James Gregory Esposito

James G. Esposito, born 11/6/1958 in NYC to James and Maria Esposito, passed away 6/20/2024 in Corona, Ca.

James loved that he grew up in NYC…the best place at the best time and he made lifelong friends. He moved to California in 1979 and had been married to his childhood sweetheart, Rita, for 42 years. He started his career in printing sales, finally retiring from restaurant management. James was most proud of his son Vincent and to be able to see the good man, husband and father he had become, thank you Carmen.

James enjoyed our family gatherings for birthdays, annual BBQ’s and holidays…and always at his house. James’ love and support of our military began with his father and uncle’s service in WW2. That love and support is evident in the T-shirts he proudly wore, books and memorabilia he collected. James was loved by family and friends, and he loved them all back, especially enjoying time spent with his 2 grandchildren Anthony and Adelaide. A good life…his way.

James is survived by his wife Rita, son Vincent, daughter-in-law Carmen (doll), grandchildren Anthony James Vincent and Adelaide Noelle Rose. Also, Aunt Celia Quinn, cousins Jamie Hastings (Matt), Jeanie (Nate), Julian, Mackenna, Isabella, Joei & Mark Crow, Connor, Hailey, Quinlan, Kori and Raiden Quinn and his NY cousins Andrea and Frankie and Florida Uncle Dickie and cousins Donna and Jerry and many lifelong friends.
