Jim lived in Belmont for many years. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Marian Faber; his son, Norman Faber; grandson, James Aliamus; and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, great-grandnieces and great-grandnephews.

The Fabers’ beloved daughter, Sally Faber Aliamus, predeceased Jim. He always held her memory close to his heart.
