James A. Limpert
James A. Limpert, “Jim”, of Hudson, NH, passed away peacefully on September 13, 2025, at the age of 81, at home with his loved ones.
Born and raised in St. Louis, MO, he was the eldest of eight children born to Aloysius P. Limpert and Evelyn A. (Fehr) Limpert. He joined the Marines at age 18, where he met his wife, Susan J. (Langlois) Limpert. They shared 59 years of marriage until her passing on January 14, 2025. Jim said every day that he missed her deeply.
After a brief period in civilian life, Jim re-enlisted in the Army, serving from 1971 until his retirement in 1986 in various roles including military police, recruiter, and nurse recruiter. He often spoke of being on the last “official” flight out of Saigon during the Vietnam War, where he served as protection for a General. Following his military retirement, he worked in automobile and boat sales and finance before joining the United States Postal Service, where he remained until health issues forced his retirement in 2001. He was an avid reader, loved old movies and shows. He would answer trivia questions faster than the contestants on Jeopardy and will be sorely missed during our Christmas eve trivia game. He taught us to work hard, that ten minutes early is on time, and to show up. He would show up for all the grandchildren sporting events, concerts, shows, special friends day at school in a full suit none the less, to check in on a Saturday morning on his way to the dump, to fix something for you, to help you move in or move out, and even when its move out day at college and the sliding door of the mini van falls off.
Jim considered his greatest accomplishments to be his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. In his later years, he lovingly cared for his wife at home while she battled Alzheimer’s disease, keeping his promise to her. He often said he had lived a good life.
The family extends their gratitude to the Veterans Administration and Pathways for enabling them to care for Jim at home during his final weeks.
Jim is survived by his children: Renee Lubinski and her husband William of Hudson, NH; and Rhonda L. Woods and her husband Stephen of New Milford, CT.
He adored his six grandchildren and relished his title as Grumpy Grampy: Caitlyn Jussaume and her husband Steven of Litchfield, NH; Zachary Lubinski and his fiancé Kelly Mahoney of Salem, NH; Savannah Woods and her fiancé Chris Fulcher of Las Vegas, NV (Savannah shared her birthday with her grandfather); Matthew Lubinski of South Boston, MA; Connor Woods and his partner Emilia Macri of Hamden, CT; and Sierra Woods of New Milford, CT.
He is also survived by two great-grandchildren, Finnley Jussaume and Tessa Jussaume, and beloved family pets: Molly and Buddie, along with furry grand puppies Kiera Woods, Sven Jussaume, and Clarke Griswold Mahoney-Lubinski.
Additional survivors include his siblings: Gerald and his wife Christine (Mills) Limpert; Duane Limpert; Aloysius Limpert and partner Carla; and sister Charlotte Wampler and her husband Darryl. He is also survived by brother-in-law (retired) Lieutenant Colonel James Langlois; brother-in-law Joseph Sabadosa; and sister-in-law Sue Langlois, along with many nieces and nephews.
