Fair Oaks, California - James (Jim) Warren Maynard passed away on 4/9/2021. He was a loving father, husband and caring friend and will be dearly missed by all. Jim served the US ARMY in Korea in 1952 and 1953. He moved to California from New Hampshire in 1954, settling and staying in Fair Oaks for almost 70 years. James worked for many years at Aerojet General in the solid propulsion group as a draftsman/designer. He enjoyed fishing and hiking with the boy scouts when his children were young. After retirement, he volunteered with the HARPS group helping senior citizens with home repairs and small projects.

Estelle and Jim were neighbors on Plantation and always so willing to attend meetings regarding the park behind our properties. We often chatted when we were out walking the neighborhood. Such dear neighbors. Our sympathy on your loss.

I knew both Jim and Tillie Maynard. They were my parents neighbors for years on Plantation Dr. I was so saddened to read about their passing. I am so sorry, to hear about those dear neighbors. They were so helpful when both of my parents were ill or couldn't get around. Tilllie, was the sweetest person you'd ever want to meet. I knew they had a few children, but sadly I never got to meet them, as I had a family of my own. My sincerest condolences to their daughter and son, who remain. May they both rest in love and peace.
