James was a consummate human being. He was caring, interested in the well-being of others, conscientious, generous, helpful, honest, responsible, and loyal. He worked very hard in college and that work ethic continued throughout his life. You could count on him through thick and thin. Once he was comfortable with you, his wry sense of humor oozed out at regular intervals. His sly smile alerted you that his mind was at work concocting some playful words or scheme. He was the node in the UCSB network that kept us together for nearly 50 years. We all looked forward to his Christmas card which contained a short update from him and updates from other UCSB classmates spread out across the country. May his memory be a blessing and source of inspiration for all who were blessed to cross paths with him. Dearest James - Rest in peace.
