James E. Bianco

74, of Oaklawn Ave., Cranston, passed away Tuesday, November 5, 2024 surrounded by his loving family. Born in Providence, he was the son of the late Anthony J. and Dorothy A. (Vendettoli) Bianco, Jr.

Jim was a machinist and was the owner of the former Bianco Mold Company for over 40 years and later worked for Stihl Corporation for 15 years before retiring. He was a graduate of Bishop Hendricken High School and received his associate degree from Community College of Rhode Island. He was an avid sports fan and enjoyed the New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox. A lover of all things, ice cream and long stretches of white sandy beaches, his endless sense of humor and goofy facial expressions will be missed by everyone.

Jim was the devoted and cherished father of Stacy E. Silva (Paul) of Cranston, Emma R. Bianco of Warwick, James J. Bianco (Tracy) of Narragansett and Trisha H. Greene of Exeter; loving grandfather of Jake Silva, Ben Silva, Jonah Silva, James Greene, Ava Greene, Zach Bianco, Sophia Bianco and Ryan Goff; and dear brother of Judith Manocchia of Cottonwood, Arizona and Joseph Bianco of Minocqua, Wisconsin.
