Read MoreI remember James well from his participation in the Greater Palm Springs Celebrity Golf Classic and in which one year he served as the Celebrity Host. Kind, considerate, generous and caring and down to earth. James never promoted his celebrity. I am privileged to have known him. I miss him! Tony C.

JAMES MACARTHUR was a very special person. Always cheerful, always greeting you with a smile. He gave so much of himself to so many and will be so sincerely missed.
'True Son', as I called him, was my friend.
I send my condolences to his family.

I appeared in many segments of "Five-O"

You were so wrong,Jim. You were much more than a...

Dear H.B. and family, as everyone, I was so saddened by Jim's death. My family knew Helen and as such I met James when we were teenagers. My dad who shared his 1901 birthdate with Helen & his brothers & sisters also met Helen as teenagers through their uncle, actor David Warfield. I had the rare pleasure of staying with her in Cuernavaca once, and when she was 80, she and friend Laura spent a week in San Francisco with us, shopping, museums, plays, celebrating her and my dad's 80th...

Growing up in Nyack, I knew Jamie (that's what we called him) and remembered what a nice young man he was.
