Palermo-James E. Knight, II of Palermo, age 69, passed away peacefully at the Gray Birch Long Term Care facility on November 13, 2023. Jim was predeceased by his parents, James E. Knight and Ethel P. Knight of Richmond, Maine. Jim grew up in Bath, Maine and went to the local schools, graduating from Morse High School in 1972. He worked in the printing industry, before computers, working his way up from printing assistant to his most recent position with The University of Maine at Augusta as a Senior Graphic Designer. He also taught several semesters of Graphic Design at UMA which he really enjoyed. Jim took some college classes but was mostly self-taught, being an artist and having a great eye for all design types. He also enjoyed music, playing several instruments himself and listening to many hours of music discs and vinyl records. He made music discs for friends as well as background sound for several videos that people produced. He loved spending time at home with his 6 cats whether sitting watching them play or playing with them. He enjoyed taking drives up roads he hadn't been on to find out where they went to and going to his mother-in-law's camp on Prince Edward Island when he could. Jim is survived by his wife, Lori, his sister Lynne and her husband Jim of Palatka, Florida, brother Jonathan and his wife Susannah of Orr's Island, and brother Jason and his wife Pat of Bingham, several nephews and a niece.
