James Henry Mott 75 of Summerfield, Florida,
passed away unexpectedly in his home on Friday November
10th, 2023. Jim, Lefty, or Grandpa One Arm as he was known
by friends and family, was born and raised in Newburgh, NY
and retired from the City of Newburgh Department of Public
Works after a Snow Blower Accident that took his right arm
and part of his left foot. Jimmy always amazed everyone he
met because he didn't let his injury stop him from doing the
things he loved to do, whether it be tinkering with an
engine, fishing, hunting, or videotaping anything he could.
He moved to Florida in 2005 to escape the cold winters of
New York. Jimmy is predeceased by his mother Margaret Mott,
his father William Mott, his brother Robert Mott, and his
brother Paul Mott. Jim leaves behind his daughter, Jennifer
Perugino, her husband Frank and their children Nicole,
Brooke and Frankie from Newburgh, Ny. Jim also leaves behind
his son James T. Mott and his children Sonia and Evan Mott
from Whittier, California. Jim is survived by his sister Pam
Mott of Florida, and numerous beloved Nieces and Nephews.
Jim is also survived by his great group of friends who
became family when they adopted him as their own, Jennifer
and Joseph Tallarico and their boys Anthony and Joey. Jim
loved everyone in his life in his own special way and would
be there to help anyone and everyone with any task. We will
be honoring his wishes and celebrating his life privately at
his request and the request of his loved ones.
