James (Jim) Arthur Hartnett, 72, of Coventry, Rhode Island, passed away peacefully in his Johnson's
Pond home on Monday, June 13, 2022. He was the beloved husband of Ann K. (Nelson) Hartnett.

Jim was born March 12, 1950 in Providence, Rhode Island to the late Joseph and Vivian Hartnett of
Warwick, Rhode Island. He attended Moses Brown School in Providence and earned an associates degree
from University of Rochester. A handy man to the core, he provided for his family by building homes
and a 25 year career at Electric Boat.

Jim was notorious for his unending encouragement; to his wife by saying "you've got this," and to
his children telling them they "could do anything." He taught his children the Father's prayer and
to follow their hearts. Jim loved to smile and to make others laugh. He was famous for taking
family and friends out on the boat for a white knuckle tube ride or an unforgettable sunset cruise
on the pond.

Jim loved his family and his country. Carrying on the patriotic nature of his parents, he donated
to the Johnson's Pond Fourth of July Fireworks every year. Jim was a lifetime member of the
National Rifle Association. He was also a member of the South County Rod & Gun club where he taught
all of his children safe firearm use and, for a time, was a pistol instructor.

In addition to his wife, Jim is survived by his three children Jennifer, Laura, Jason (his wife
Lousia), his seven grandchildren, and his sister Muriel Menard.
