James Russell BANKS

I completed one pass on two attempts playing football at La Sierra with Jim Banks was the receiver of that pass. I think of him all the time.

Kerry, Windy, and Steve,

I am so sorry to hear about Jim passing away. I just now found out about it. Kerry I know he was a great friend and husband to you. Windy and Steve, I never met you but I know he was a great father.
Kerry, this is Kathy Aquila-Willett from Weed, Ca...I now live in North Bend, Oregon, not far from Coos Bay..I am so sorry to hear about Jim...he was such a great person. You and Jim are great people. I really enjoyed working with you at U.S.F. & G. Ins....

I was so shocked to hear about Jim's passing. I met him my sophmore year of High school.we were both new to Sacramento and we were also neighbors. I remember all the good times especially shooting hoops at Jim's house and hanging out with the Cameron Ranch "gang". I'm sure he will be sorely missed. I pray he knew the Lord and is with Him now.

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We were best friends in high school. I met Jim in my sophomore year. He had just moved from Wisconsin. We were lab partners in biology. We became best friends. He was either at my house or I was at his house. I have so many fond memories of Jim and his mother and father.

We had good times back in the 60's in Cameron Ranch. Michael Tamblyn

I am saddened for your loss beyond words. I know Jim was a good husband and dad. He was also a good friend of mine way back in high school and a guy that turned out to be a cool neighbor. I miss that unique laugh of his and hearing the 'bug' start up every morning. I am thankfull that I had the chance to know your husband and dad...my thoughts are with you all.

To Jim's Family,
So sorry to read about Jim's passing. I went to high school with Jim and remember a thoughtful, quiet, gentle and very nice person. Have shared this news with other people Jim went to h.s. with.

Our thoughts are with you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was a good guy ( which is rare these days) and I remember the last time I saw him at the Rivercats game... he taught my sons some sportfacts about Ronnie Lott. (49rs player). My boys came home that night telling my husband about Ronnie Lott and I thought how nice it was for him to spend some one on one time sharing his knowledge with my kids. It just shows that he was so kind and how much he will be missed.
