Keohane Funeral Home

James Navin, of Hingham, died peacefully, on Thursday, May 19, 2022. He was 83.  

Son of the late Laurence and Marie (Andersen) Navin. Jim was raised in Cambridge, attended local schools. He received his undergraduate degree from Northeastern University and his MBA from Anna Maria College. 

After a distinguished career in health information systems Jim established his own firm, Navin Group, specializing in recruitment and health information systems consulting. He retired after twenty-five years of service to that community. 

In his retirement Jim pursued that elusive low handicap playing golf at White Cliffs Country Club in Plymouth. On many occasions he remarked that those days were the happiest he has ever known. A great storyteller, all who knew him remembered Jim had an infectious laugh and a great sense of humor. 

He was a good man whose family was all important to him.

He leaves his wife of 60 years Nancy (Doyle) of Hingham. He was the devoted father of MaryBeth N. D’Agostino of Greenwich, CT, J. Christopher Navin and his wife Noreen of NYC, Mark L. Navin and his wife Carol of Saratoga Springs, NY, and Peter A. Navin and his wife Elise of San Francisco, CA.

Also survived by many loving extended Doylepalooza family and dear friends.
