I am truly saddened to hear of Jim's passing.  He generously offered and guided me in an emotional and memorable return to the Gila River camp, and locating the site where my family and my uncle's family lived. 

Jim,  I will always remember your generous and kind spirit.  Rest well.

I am deeply sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I worked with Jim at Omni Spectra and we were also on the same bowling team. Jim was a very nice person and will be missed.

To the Kubota family, 

My sincerest condolences on your loss. I'll always remember "Mr. K" as a nice, gentle, witty man. What a great dry, sense of humor he had! I have such fond memories of my time as a child in Amherst spending time with him and playing games with your family, including my favorite "Pounce"!

Mr K.,
May you rest in peace....always and forever.

Kubotas
My thoughts are with you and your entire family during this difficult time,

Eric Trehub



Jim hired me at Southwest in 1996. He was a great mentor on the ways to prepare Technical Reports for customers. We started with actual "cut and paste", taping  data and drawings to the pages.  He was always contributing to continual improvement with his "Tough Love" red line mark-ups. Now, after nearly 25 years here, I can reflect back on my foundation of knowledge and share what a lucky man I was to work for and learn from Jim Kubota.
Blessed,
Bob Boak
SWMI 1996-2021 (Retiring!)

Goodbye Jim.  Your friendship was very special and appreciated.
I will always remember your thoughtful help and support during all those years at Omni Spectra; and of course, your reliable role as 'anchor' on the OSI bowling team.  
Your knowledge,  skills, and wisdom touched many lives throughout the years.  Rest in peace....
