James T. Roiniotis, age 94 of Mt. Pleasant, passed away on Friday, November 11, 2022.
He was born on June 22, 1928 in Evanston, IL, son of the late Thomas A. and Nicolata (nee: Stavropoulos) Roiniotis.
Jim attended Evanston Township High School and Wright Junior College in Chicago.
Jim was proud to have served his country in the United States Army and is a World War II Veteran.
On November 19, 1955, in Chicago, he was united in marriage to Marion E. Noonan. Sadly, after fifty-six years of marriage, she preceded him in death on June 18, 2012.
For 38 years, Jim worked at Great Lakes Naval Base as a civilian, working at two commands: Naval Electronics System Command (NAVELEX), and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC).
Jim’s greatest pleasure in life was his family, always saying how blessed he was. Anyone who spoke to Jim also knew how proud he was of his Greek heritage. Jim enjoyed playing golf and especially enjoyed cheering on the Chicago Bears and Cubs with his sons.
Jim was a member of St. Lucy Catholic Church.
Survivors include his five sons: Thomas (Michelle), William (Lisa), Gregory (Tracey), Paul (Brenda), and James (MaryAnn) Roiniotis; cherished daughter Nancy Dembling; ten grandchildren: Alexis, Monica, Trisha, Michael, Alexander, Carly, Nickolas, Andrew, Thomas, and James; and nine great grandchildren.

I will always remember your Dad with such wonderful memories! I remember him singing and dancing with his grand daughter when I was over at the house watching the Miss America pageant with Jim when I was in 8th grade. Such a wonderful family!!! He is now reunited with his beautiful wife in Heaven. Prayers to your family.
Much Love
Denise Bush and family
