We are saddened to announce the passing of James (Jim) S. Tiffany on April 8, 2018 in Seattle, WA at the age of 69. He was born in Atlanta, GA on June 23, 1948 and grew up in Richland Hills, TX. He attended the University of Texas in Austin and lived many years in Santa Fe, NM. He died peacefully in the arms of his wife at their home.
Jim will be remembered as a man who lived life fully, fearlessly, and with great adventure. During his life he had been a carpenter, stonemason, short order cook, RN midwife, sailor (and an excellent helmsman), and a highly respected commercial airline pilot of 40 years. He loved retirement and relished nearly non-stop travel around the world. He had a great spirit of adventure and fun. He enjoyed many activities--especially sailing and flying.
Him is survived by his devoted wife Ani (Maria Anna); son Cole; sisters Camille Magness of San Antonio and Barbara Bledsoe of Honolulu and their families; his "kids" Free, Michelle and Daniel; and many beloved friends. He brought a sense of joy, love and peace to all those around him. In his own words, Jim "led a full and varied life and did [his] best to enjoy it to the fullest and died peacefully without regrets."
