Andover - James J. “Jim” Reagan III, 48, of Andover, passed away on April 1, 2018, of cancer. Forever loved by his devoted fiancée Kara (Simko) Valin; children, Hanna and James Reagan; step-sons, Max and Ryan Valin of Andover; parents, Irene and James Reagan of N.H.; brother, Brian and his wife, Sarah (Allen) Reagan and their children, Bryce and Mya of Bedford, N.H.

Jim was an amazing person who was best known for his great sense of humor, which made it only fitting that he passed on April Fool’s Day and Easter Sunday.

His favorite things to do were to spend time at Loon with his family and dogs, and attend his children’s activities.

He was an avid Boston sports fan, and loved swimming, golfing, playing tennis as well as playing ball with his kids. Jim always enjoyed concerts, vacations, a great steakhouse, and guys getaways with his best friends, Mick, Pete, Laz, Mike, and the late Proch.

Jim spent most of his working life at the Café Escadrille in Burlington, Mass.

Jim was surrounded by the love of his amazing family and friends, and wanted to thank them for their support.
