Wonderful man. Had so much fun at the McNicholas house over the years. He was a fun and classy man. So sorry to hear about his passing. Everyone was very fond of Jim.

I'm so sorry to hear about Jim. He was such a cool guy in every way. I'll especially remember his great sense of humor and friendly conversations. He was a terrific friend to my Dad and Mom in Long Beach and was always so nice to me and my brother, just like his wife Marion. Jim and Marion once drove for hours from Palo Alto, California, to where I was living and working in Hollister just to buy me lunch and say hello. Such fine people who touched so many with their generosity and kindness over the years. My prayers and sympathy to the McNicholas family.
