Jim was/is an incredibly caring and delightful friend , diverse of interest , talented , always of good humor , and remarkably skilled .
This , of course , was always hidden beneath a very modest unassuming style OR as Jimmy would say “as it should be”.
Jim , wherever you have been , You will always be missed AND a welcome guest .
Peace , my friend.

Jim invited me (an old Army friend) and my wife Alice to San Fransisco and Rancho Sisquoc in October 2014. What a wonderful and unforgettable five days. Jim was a true host and gentleman. I am sad to hear of his passing.

Good by old friend and Theta Chi brother.
We had a lot of good times at Stanford.
I fondly remember your 21st Birthday dinner
at your home and the old brandy your dad provided.

Worked with him at the stagecoach - a down to earth person - straight shooter - you would never know he came from such fame and wealth -- it never got in the way of him -- hard to find a nicer guy. -- Joe Brown

I never spent time with Jim as much as I would have liked, but he was, and his family are, wonderful members of the San Francisco community. Our great-grandfathers knew each at the time of the Comstock Lode, and that shared history makes me especially sad to hear that he is no longer with us. All my condolences to his wife and daughters.

Good times playing dominoes : ) I remember Jim hacking off the top of a champagne bottle with a sword on his 80th b-day! Jim was an impressive dad & grandfather. He will be missed by many. That is certain.
