James Myers

James A. Myers, age 88, of Havertown, PA, passed away on May 7, 2020.

Born in Philadelphia, PA in 1932, he was the son of the late James A., Sr. and Margaret (nee Klumpp) Myers. James served honorably in the US Air Force. He became a Philadelphia police officer in 1957 and spent most of his career as a detective. After 20 years he left the PPD as a lieutenant in homicide to become Chief of Police of Haverford Township until retiring in 1985. Retirement allowed him time to ride his motorcycle, play tennis, attend baseball games and most of all, enjoy his family and friends.

James was the beloved husband of Florence M. (nee Dingfelder) Myers; loving father of Marie Marshall (John), Kenneth Myers (Karen), John Mahan (Ann), Stephen Mahan (Cathy), and the late Greg Mahan; dear brother of Barbara Hulmes (the late Ed); also survived by 13 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
