James Charles McCullough

                                                                         IN LOVING MEMORY of James "Jim" Charles McCullough

               January 19, 1945  -  November 3, 2026

Born in Philadelphia, PA, Jim spent much of his childhood summers along the New Jersey Shore, where he developed a lifelong love for the shores of Cape May County. He later made Wildwood Crest his permanent home before moving to Florida in his later years.

Jim was a professional Chemical Engineer who spent many years working in the coal and fuel industry. For most of his career, he was employed by Atlantic City Electric Company.

Jim was a devoted husband, loving father, adored brother, proud grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Virginia "Ginny" Ann McCullough.

He leaves behind his two daughters, Amy Marie (McCullough) Einhaus and her husband, Henry "Hank" Einhaus, and Tammy Ann (McCullough) Peter and her husband, Levente Peter. He was a proud grandfather to Brian Charles Einhaus and his wife, Mariah, and Eric James Einhaus and his fiancée, Tabita Cruz. He also leaves behind his beautiful great-granddaughter, Ava, who loved her Pop Pop dearly.

Jim is also survived by his brother, John McCullough, and his loving sister, Rebecca "Becky" Fields, who was by his side until the very end. He shared a beautiful relationship with Betsy Sedor, a very special woman in his life for the past 13 years. He also leaves behind many cherished family members and treasured friends whom he made throughout the years.

Jim was a man of many interests and talents. He enjoyed many years of fishing in his beloved hometown of Wildwood Crest, New Jersey. Being on the water and fishing were among his greatest joys. He also had a passion for history, collecting vintage items and artifacts, and tracing his family history. His dedication to discovering his family's roots even inspired him to write a book about his family history.

Jim enjoyed experiencing the world through cuisine. He could often be found in the kitchen preparing wonderful meals to share with family and friends. He also had a great love of gardening, using the herbs and vegetables he grew in many of the delicious dishes he created.

Perhaps his greatest passion in life, however, was painting. Painting was more than just a hobby; it was a way for Jim to express himself and share a piece of who he was with others. He loved gifting his paintings to family and friends, leaving behind beautiful pieces of himself for those he loved to cherish.

Jim was a quiet intellectual, a man of great knowledge and thoughtful advice. Though he is no longer with us, his legacy will live on through his children, grandchildren, great granddaughter, cherished family members, and the countless works of arts he leaves behind.

Rest peacefully, Dad. You will always be remembered and forever in our hearts. We love you.
