James C. Barkas

Barkas, James C. “Jamie” of Hingham, died suddenly February 16, 2020.  

Jamie adored his family and was the most kind and thoughtful soul you’d ever meet. He played lacrosse in high school and was the fastest kid around. He was very creative and artistic working as a barber for All Star Barber Shop in Dedham. He was a “Jack of all trades” and also worked as a mason part time for Mario Misdea and enjoyed helping out when he could. Most of all, he loved being a dad. He cherished the time he had with his daughter and deeply loved those around him. Jamie was charming, witty, eccentric, and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
