James Dazey Obituary
Ojai, CA
James Dazey, 79, passed away peacefully last week in Ojai at the mobile home he shares with his brother, Wade Dazey. His death was due to pancreatic cancer. Jim was born in St. Louis, Missouri, the eldest son of James N. Dazey (Senior) and Elizabeth H. Dazey. His childhood years were spent in St. Louis, Missouri and in Fallbrook, California. He graduated from St. Stephens School in Austin, Texas, and attended Washington and Lee University in Virginia. After a brief period in the Marine Corps Reserves, he lived as a young man in New York City, having a number of different jobs including working at CBS television headquarters, and co-owning a pub on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. He later moved to California where he worked in commercial real estate, and then in phone sales for the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Bee. He retired early due to failing eyesight. During his retirement years he lived in Scottsdale, AZ, Claremont, CA and most recently in Davis, CA. He is survived by his sister Judith Ann Dazey of Ojai, and by his brother Wade Dazey of Madison, WI, and Ojai, CA. Friends may remember him by donations to Livingston Memorial Visiting Nurse Association of Ojai, CA.

During the past 4 years I got to know Jim really well. We talked a lot about football and basketball results. He was very well informed about these sports. He really cared about about my family and had a great sense of humor. He ended our phone conversations saying,"Give my best to Ellen and Rebecca" I will miss Jim, but hold wonderful memories of him.

I will miss Jim very much. He had such a wonderful sense of humor, was a great conversationalist and added so much fun and life to the many get- togethers we had with family and friends. He also had boundless energy.
