James ‘Jim’ Guididas
LELAND James “Jim” Guididas, 71, passed away Saturday, Feb. 20, 2021, at his home with his wife, Diane, and his daughter, Lauren.
Jim Guididas opened his heart to everyone he met.
He always was there for the family member who was struggling, the employee who was seeking mentorship or the friend who needed advice. Jim was passionate about helping others.
Jim was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to his parents, Ed and Helen Guididas. He was raised in Westfield, New Jersey, where he attended Holy Trinity school.
As a teenager, Jim earned the rank of Eagle Scout. It was in the Boy Scouts where Jim learned how to plan and be prepared, qualities he kept throughout his life.
