James Lee Olcott

Jim and I met 65 years ago as students at Emerson Jr. High. Our friendship grew over the years from mere acquaintances into one of mutual respect. Jim always impressed me as a person of goodwill, integrity, and a desire to do the right thing for his community and team. Jim was elected student body president at Emerson. A fine basketballer, he played varsity basketball at BHS, a league championship team. He was always among the first to reach out to me at class reunions or other occasions,...

Big hugs to the Olcott family. I loved working with Debbie in the Bakersfield City School District and she loved talking about her family. I know that Jim meant a lot to Debbie, Tim, Joy, and Bob.

Was great to become friends with you and a neighbor when you moved into BP. May God have mercy on your soul and be with your family!!!

Mike and Nancy... Our deepest thoughts and prayers are going your way. We loved Olcott's and saw your brother James on many occasions. David and Arleen Hashim
