Richmond Times-Dispatch  April 14, 2009
NANNERY, James Michael, 67, a resident of Dunnsville, Va., died peacefully on Good 
Friday, April l0, 2009. Recently retired owner of White's Home & Auto Store in 
Tappahannock, "Big Jim" loved working and living on the Rappahannock River. Born 
in Utica, N.Y., he was raised in Portsmouth, R.I., became an accomplished winning 
competitive sailboat racer as a child and young man, graduated from Cardinal 
Farley Military Academy in upstate New York, served in the U.S. Navy, and moved to 
Virginia to work for National Cash Register Company in sales. In 1976, he pursued 
the "Great American Dream" by purchasing the White's Store in Tappahannock where 
he enjoyed working with the public and being a commercial waterman. He never met a 
stranger he couldn't visit with for awhile and share his knowledge of the latest 
fishing reports, his many and varied opinions, and friendship. He will be fondly 
remembered by his friends in the community for his wonderful sense of humor, joy, 
honesty, and love of fishing and crabbing. He is survived by his faithful life 
partner and wife of 44 years, Barbara S. Nannery; his beloved mother, Loretta B. 
Nannery of Portsmouth, R.I.; two devoted sons, Michael and Patrick; loving 
daughters-in-law, Stacey and Tracy; and four fabulous grandchildren whom he dearly 
loved, Colin, Dana, Madison and Meredith. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated for 
Jim by Father Anthony Marques at St. Timothy Catholic Church, Rte. 360 and Airport 
Road, in Tappahannock on Thursday, April 16, 2009 at 11 a.m. As there will be no 
immediate graveside service, the family requests that in lieu of flowers, 
donations be made in Jim's name to the Capital Improvements Fund of St. Timothy 
Catholic Church, P.O. Box 129, Tappahannock, Va. 22560.
