"DOUGLAS, James Stuart, 75, son of Lewis W. Douglas, horseman, cattleman, rancher, banker, civic leader, sculptor, artist, and husband, passed away Monday, March 31, 1997. Four generations of the Douglas family have been in Arizona in the banking and mining industries. James Stuart continued this tradition and added ranching, as well. He had a love for the desert, the outdoors, horses and cattle throughout his whole life, and enjoyed them immensely. It is difficult to mention a board or activity in which he was not involved during his life in Tucson as a banker, and Tucson resident. In 1947, he started his career in Southern Arizona Bank within which he rose to president and chief executive officer. As a prominent member of the Tucson business community, he served as president of the Development Authority for Tucson Expansion ("DATE"), founding organization for the current Greater Tucson Economic Council. He was also a past president of Junior Achievement of Tucson, the Tucson Chamber of Commerce, United Way, Arizona Bankers Association, past metro-chairman of the National Alliance of Businessmen, and past chairman and president of the Tucson United Way Fund Drive. In 1970, he was named Tucson's Man of the Year by the downtown Sertoma Club, and elected State Man of the Year of the Sertoma Clubs of Arizona. In 1972, he received Man of the Year from City of Hope. His other civic contributions include the Tucson Airport Authority and the Advisory Council of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. One of the most rewarding activities was his membership in the American Society of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John in Jerusalem. He was also a charter member of the George C. Marshall Association. James Stuart Douglas was an indomitable promoter for the City of Tucson during his time here. Prior to that, he served in the United States Army and was honorably discharged as a First Lieutenant. While serving in World War II he received the Air Medal, Three Oak Leaf Clusters and three Battle Stars during his 21 months of service in the European Theater. Prior to that, he attended Groton School from which he graduated. He then attended Amherst College for one year, until joining the Army. He was preceded in death by his oldest son, James Stuart Douglas III and his survived by his son, Peter Hazard Douglas; two daughters, Bronwyn McGregor Douglas Rubenstein and Morgan Peace Douglas; Mary Peace Hazard Douglas, mother of their children; his loving grandchildren, Summer and Megan Douglas, Neil and David Rubenstein and Philip Rosenberg. James was attached to his life in the Arizona desert ? especially the grasslands of Sonoita ? and to the horseman's way of life. He will be missed by all who loved him. A memorial service will be held at his residence on Friday, April 4th at 9:00 a.m. Contributions in lieu of flowers may be sent to United States Dressage Federation, 130 North Tenth, Lincoln, Nebraska 68508."
