James Alan Webb

Can you imagine a man so generous that he would befriend a Connecticut black woman of meager means and email her for all the years since they first met on a KPLU jazz tour sharing news of his adventures, his joys, his family. It was a privilege that I will always treasure.

Jim bought a nice home in Marana,AZ in 2011. I met Jim in 2013 at a Tucson Museum of Art big dinner party that was held at my house.

We soon became friends because we shared a love for music, reading, art, films, travel, good food, (especially Asian) and laughing.
He was a supporter of the Tucson museum, the Fox Theatre, the Tucson Jazz Festival and The University of Arizona. He took classes and supported their musical and theatre productions.
He loved art and was...

James was the 1st neighbor to welcome us back in 2003 when we moved in and we always appreciated that. We enjoyed visiting with Jim when he stopped to talk, while out on his daily walks with his dog. Super friendly and always willing to help, we will miss you Jim a great deal!

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We were young in the ad business together. Many laughs and happy memories.

Jim and I were friends in college where we both majored in Journalism/Advertising. He was remarkably talented and creative, and a nice person too. My condolences to his family.

Jim, your sense of humor, love of reading, and your Elvis lifesize cutout will always be happy memories for me. What I liked best was talking with you when you walked Star. We had some great conversations. Thank you for keeping the neighborhood contact list. You are missed, and I was fortunate to meet you. I hope your soul floated down to AZ and your hovering in the sun.

'Knew him only as a classmate at MI schools, but remember his wit and intelligence with fondness and admiration.
