James (Jim) McIntyre was a true gentleman and legal scholar. His personality and deep intelligence made him a very special man. We all enjoyed his presence and his involvement up and until the very end. We will miss him deeply and think of Vicki, his vivacious wife who had a very thrilling wit and charming personality herself. We send all of our best wishes and prayers to Vicki at this difficult time. James & Diane Marinos

My condolences to the family of the Hon. James McIntyre. Justice McIntyre was a great mentor to me in the law, a loyal boss. I am honored to have worked under him. May he rest in please in his beloved Kona.
