James Cameron “Jim” Eckels, born in Los Angeles Oct. 10, 1923, Burlingame resident for 35 years, died Feb. 5, 2019, in Green Valley, Arizona, at age 95 after a brief illness.
Widowed five year ago, he is survived by his sister Hannah, daughters Joanne and Marilee, his son John, granddaughters Leann and Laura, grandsons Grant and Daniel, great-grandson Cameron, nieces Ellen, Laura and Susan, and nephew Rick. Jim and Jean enjoyed their years of retirement in Arizona.
Memorial gifts can be made to First Presbyterian Church of Burlingame, 1500 Easton Drive, Burlingame, CA 94010. No services planned. Cremation arranged by Green Valley Mortuary, Green Valley.
I have many fond memories of Mr. Eckels as he was an adult leader of our Boy Scout Troop 156 in Burlingame. He was also a good friend of my father, Tony Pappas (RIP 2002). I used to patrol by the house on Canyon, but I lost track of him, maybe because he moved to Arizona. I hope to see the family at some point here on the Peninsula to express my condolences. May he rest in peace. Jim Pappas, San Mateo officerjim@comcast.net
