James R. Corriea
LOWELL James R. Corriea, 72, a lifelong Lowell resident, passed away Wednesday, May 24, 2017 at Palm Center with his loving family at his side.
He was born on July 21, 1944, in Lowell and was a son of the late Joseph P. Corriea and the late Eva A. (Dysko) Corriea. He was raised in Lowell, where he attended the area schools.
Mr. Corriea made his lifelong home in Lowell, and was a communicant of St. Francis Church in Dracut. For more than 28 years, he worked for the City of Lowell, retiring from the Land and Buildings Department.
James was an avid horse racing fan and was devoted to studying the race-book papers. Often he could be found at Rockingham Park or Suffolk Downs.
