Judy Gamboa Here are some old photographs from the 1960s and 1970s, found in Frank and Linda's albums. Tina and Jim visited Frank & Linda in October 1969 and toured Washington DC. Also included in this album is a photo of Tina, Jim, Mark & Frank's Linda with the Gamboa sign in Panama, about 1974 or 1975.

Stephanie Mae So lovely to read all of the messages and fond memories of Grandpa Jim - many of which I share. My memories of our time in California together when I was very young consist of many trips to McDonalds for breakfast - Grandpa Jim always cutting Laura's pancakes (because she was older and took bigger bites) and Grandma Tina always cutting mine. Watching the train go round. Being fascinated by his collection of magazines and artwork. Being even more fascinated by the size of his shoes. My last few trips to visit as an adult I was blessed to have the time to simply sit and chat about life. Those one on one conversations with Grandpa Jim where he gave you his complete attention and a wealth of wisdom - alway with plenty of jokes mixed in. We have coined those jokes 'Jim Bradley-isms'. I remember actually taking notes after one conversation in particular because his words struck me so deeply. I really hope I can find those notes in a lost notebook one day! During those great chats with Grandpa Jim, he gave me lots of advice on what I should look for in a life partner. His advice was always filled with compliments for HIS choice of a life partner - Grandma Tina - and how perfect of a match she was for him. My thoughts are with all those who mourn Grandpa Jim at this time. May he live on in our memories, may we continue to share his words of wisdom and tell his amazing life story.

Anna Gamboa You shared your wisdom, your philosophies, and your hopes for my future and others in our family. You were giving of your time, gentle with your words and always made me feel special. I’m so lucky to have had the honor of calling you “Uncle.” You are missed.

Anna Gamboa He was so very special and I will miss him every day! Big man, big heart, big loss. (Kim Blanc)

Lena Bravo Grandpa Jim’s hearty laugh, booming voice and larger-than-life presence were such a big part of my childhood memories. He had an endless amount of hard-to-believe stories (us kids never knew if they were true or not!) and silly jokes to share. I looked forward to a fresh batch of them at every visit as well as “rides” on his giant shoes. One of my favorite Grandpa Jim memories was how he would call out to Grandma from across the room...“Tina, come on a dead run!” It always made me giggle to see that Grandma’s response would always be to flatly ignore him and never, ever, under any circumstances to run! Also, so many fun outings with Grandpa... Knott’s Berry Farm (he was so tall we could always see him in his hat and umbrella) the Zoo (he made it a point to share fascinating information about the animals) and the Swap Meet (I remember being amazed at all the “junk” for sale, however Grandpa always seemed to find a treasure). Looking back on it, he taught me how to people watch... sitting in the shade in his big hat (sometimes made with materials on hand!) pointing out behaviors and interactions between people and families nearby. I remember his fascinating art books and sculpting clay and camera bag with a big camera and long lenses for capturing our individual eyelashes from across the room. He loved taking super duper closeups, ignoring the protests of all his photography subjects! I also loved riding around in his Mercedes sedan. The color may have changed throughout the years, but the car was always a diesel Mercedes Benz! As an adult, Grandpa and I would sit and chat about real estate, and boy did I love picking his brain about his years in the biz. When I got married and became a mother he gave me lots of advice and shared funny stories about my mom and uncles as kids. During our chats I could always count on him to compliment me and give me helpful (and humorous!) advice about marriage, children and being a working mom. I will surely miss our talks and his insight on things that I was going through in my life. His genuine concern and curiosity always made me feel special and important. He’ll always have a place in my heart. Love you forever Grandpa!
