A life well lived. As he would have said, Outstanding!! How can I begin to capture the true essence of the most wonderful man in the world, my father? An exceptional family provider. By far the most responsible person I have ever known. A wonderful story-teller. A loving, supporting husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. Someone you would want as a friend or neighbor. Always there to lend a hand when needed. And the most avid A's fan ever! Dad passed away in his sleep on January 1, 2021 just days prior to his 90th birthday. He and his bride, along with the rest of his family and friends are together at last in Heaven.
I will always cherish our memories of a lifetime, Dad. Forever. Rest in peace.

His experiences with the U.S Coast Guard, His work, of which he loved to talk about, included many interesting and sometimes humorous stories.
A real outdoorsman, he loved spending time fishing with his wife, exploring many of the lakes, just being out in nature’s beauty.
A well prepared and practical man, he was always prepared for just about anything and everything that came his way.
He was an avid Oakland Athletics baseball fan, and it was his pride and joy attending games with his daughter Laurie. It was like his ritual, taking the train to the game together, and spending the day enjoying the game. He was a real “People watcher”. Taking in the sights and scenes were a true joy to him.
Jim had great skills in woodworking, creating some of the most beautiful furniture with precision and attention to the finer details. The beautiful rocking horse he crafted for his granddaughter Erin, will be a keepsake for a lifetime.
As you look down upon us, you are sorely missed, but know, we are all looking up to you.
In Loving Memory of James Harwood.
