Amongst his Guardsmen brothers, Jim was the topic at this first weekend in Sonoma. He was a generous and knowledgeable colleague. It was a honor to be his friend.

RIP dear Jim. Jim was our attorney and board member for New College Berkeley, an innovative, nondenominational graduate school of theology and ethics for laity that a bunch of us Berkeley alumni (and friends like Jim) founded in 1977. For several years I worked closely with Jim and loved his sense of humor, intellectual brilliance, and lively, authentic faith and ethical/social concerns. A big loss and a profoundly sad moment mitigated only by many great memories of a good man.
