My apologies for a delay, I stumbled across this news recently.
My family lived on his ranch for many years. It was my parents job to care for the Ranch and do any repairs needed, feed the cows/ horses, exct. so I learned a lot about ranch life at a young age, rounding up cows, fixing fence, hauling hay. I hated it at the time, I wanted to be out having fun. I miss that place more now every day.  Mr. James could work circles around all of us, he taught me about history, I will never forget the  Pearl Harbor date because of him. In many ways he felt more like a father to me, because he always took the time to try and teach me something.  
I grew up and moved away, my parents moved away eventually. I am not certain on the story of what happened, but I know I will never forget Mr. James,  what a wonderful soul he was, and that wonderful ranch of his.  Big hugs to his kids Susan and Rob, I hope that wonderful place stays in their family for many generations to come, it is definitely a little piece of heaven on earth. Love to all ~Anna

Sending prayers and love to the sweet James family. Bob will be greatly missed, and he was the best friend, Dad, and Grandpa! His legacy will live on through Susan, Rob, and his grandchildren. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
Love, 
Valerie

Such a kind gentle giant.  He loved his family and those who worked with him  and who knew him    He had a way to make you feel like you were the most important person in the room when he was talking to you and really he was.  His humbleness and sense of humor will be missed by everyone.  From the conference room to the ranch he was in command and comfortable.  He gave me such good advice and a great friend Susan Lee.  We believed he would live forever because he was so tough and so consistently reliable and always available to those he loved.  When we say They Are The Greatest Generation  I can't help but think of the honorable legendary Bob James.  We will see you again and may the kids and grandchildren remember he will always live in your ❤️.  Thank you for just being you Big Bob  

It was a great privilege and honor to work under the outstanding leadership Mr. James provided for all of us who worked with him at MHM.   Nancy and my prayers go out to Susan and all members of the James family.  May Mr. James enjoy eternal happiness and rest in peace.
