JAMES WIBORG

Bumpa, as his grandchildren knew him, always lived honorably and with purpose. As a young child I remember animated stories about Roman battles from a thousand years ago and African safaris a decade earlier, next to a beach fire with rings of pipe smoke filling the night air, like they were yesterday. Those stories were like Jim, full of passion for life and the human story. Jim made so much possible for those he loved both through his accomplishments and in the way he led others by modeling...

It was a pleasure to know Jim, although it was late in his life, he was so sweet, I would loved to have known him in back in the day.
You will be missed Jim.

I was fortunate enough to know Mr. Wiborg during my formative years growing up in Tacoma. He was kind, generous, interested in young people and always a wonderful role model. He was the kind of parent kids enjoyed being around. He was a successful man---we all knew that---but I remember him best sitting by the pool enjoying his friends and his family and his kids' friends. I remember caroling at Christmas with his horse-drawn sleigh. I remember dinners around the table. He was always...

I am so very sorry for your loss, growing up on his farm was something I will always cherish, it made my childhood amazing! Mr, Wiborg was a wonderful caring man always quick to smile, he will be truly missed by our family and friend.

Another Anecdote: A fellow ELDEC Board member, attorney John Davis, called me one day and asked me (as engineer/scientist)to help decipher Wiborg's equation-filled opus - rumored to best Einstein's thinking. I tried and failed miserably. Jim was in a class by himself!

An Anecdote: The last time I saw Jim was in Maui. He was emerging from K-Mart on Dairy Road carrying a supply of liquor. Why here, I asked. K-mart has the best prices, was the answer. Typical Jim! He'll be missed by many, K-Mart included! Bruno (and Inge) Strauss

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of a wonderful man and father. May the Lord bless each and everyone so close to him.

Caroline...Been way too long since we've seen each other! So sorry for your loss. What a wonderful life and wonderful man, husband, father. I remember him fondly.
Not the forum for this, but since I don't know how to contact you...If there's any chance you'll be in Tacoma 8/22, our 40th reunion is that night and would LOVE to see you and catch up.

Very sorry.
