James Gerard Nichols peacefully passed away on December 13, 2017. He was 67 years old. Born on March 21, 1950, to Rustica and James Nichols of Pittsburg, California, Jim was the oldest sibling of the eight Nichols children.

Jim was well-known in the Pittsburg community and had many lifelong friendships. He was known as being a "sharp dresser" and had an eye for beautiful cars.
