James Marshall
68, San Francisco
James “Jim” Richard Marshall (June 16, 1943-April 11, 2012 the son of James Max and Catherine Marshall, passed away in his San Francisco home on April 11,2012.
Graveside service will be at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 28th, at Elmwood Cemetery, Augusta. Those attending should use the 12th St. entrance.
Jim was born in Ardmore, Okla, and grew up in Augusta.
He is survived by: his brother, Gary (Judy) Marshall and his family; his children: James N. (Christina) Marshall, Jennifer E. Marshall & Morgan T. Marshall; their mother, GuiDian Marshall; his grandchildren, Reece and Sloan; as well as his dear friends, including Michele Privette Gorden and family.
After attending a couple of years at Emporia State, Jim worked a fishing boat in Texas, then he moved to the San Francisco where, according to Jesse Hamlin of the San Francisco Chronicle, he developed a name for himself as “a masterly San Francisco movie projectionist and bartender known for his crusty wit, keen mind and reverence for craft.”
Hamlin also mentions that, “Marshall was a familiar North Beach figure who worked at two of the city's landmark cultural establishments: the Castro Theatre, where he projected films and managed the sound system for 21 years, and Vesuvio, the storied Columbus Avenue Bar where he'd spent the previous decade behind the plank, expertly pouring drinks tor poets, musicians and other people who liked the bohemian vibe.” Jim was adored by his customers in spite of his gruff manner and sharp humor, which inspired guitarist Nick Gravenites to dub him "Mr. Warmth." He ran and tended other North Beach bars, including such no-_ table Upper Grant Avenue spots as Mooney's Irish Pub and the Coffee Gallery, where Mr. Marshall ran the sandwich shop. He also partnered in the venture, Wumper's Of Man, where acts such as Huey Lewis & the News played early on and guitarist Elvin Bishop was part of the unofficial house band. Jim has been referenced in several books of that era, and is featured in the article, ‘War Games in Pacific Heights” in a 1975 issue of City Magazine.
At the old Northpoint Theatre, he learned the reel-to-reel projectionist's craft, a vanishing trade in the digital age, from the union projectionist.
He became the go-to tech guy at the Castro cinema where Mr. Marshall projected films and handled sound for most of the festivals. "He was a great projectionist with an artist's eye," said fellow IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees) projectionist Jeff Root. "He was very focused on details and presentation, a very good technician who handled a lot of different kinds of equipment."
Marshall was often seen as a Renaissance man, who was intrigued by everything from space travel to Chinese cooking. Guillian recalls of Jim’s personal library and his eclectic interests, “Everything he got into was a science that he studied intensely.” In the last 15 years Jim had taken to driving his motorcycle across country to visit friends and relatives and attend class reunions. Last summer he rode his bike to Chicago and was able see all of his children and grandchildren. James, Marshall’s oldest son, echoes his siblings when says of his father, “He was a kind and generous man... he will be missed.” Local arrangements by Dunsford Funeral Home & Crematory.
