McKittrick came to Arcata Union High school in 1922 as a coach and teacher of the social sciences and he remained there until his retirement three years ago. During his long years at Arcata High he had coached basketball, football, baseball and track and there are many old-time followers of sports in Humboldt County who will remember McKittrick's athletic ability as well as his success as a coach. He played basketball for the old Arcata Firemen in the twenties and also was a baseball player on several amateur teams of the early days. He is survived by his wife, Myrtle Mason McKittrick, a son, James R., who is a deputy district attorney here, and two sisters, Vivian McKittrick, of Lompoc, Calif., and Mrs. Earl Davenport of Snomomish, Wash.

During World War I he served in the navy and returned to Arcata High following his military service. In 1930, he joined the Army Reserve Officer Corps and in World War II he served in the army, retiring as a lieutenant colonel. McKittrick retired from Arcata High in 1957 and since then had traveled extensively. The former coach was a member of American Legion post No. 274 of Arcata, the Arcata Masonic lodge, the Retired Teachers' Association, San Francisco Press Club and was past president of the Arcata Kiwanis club. McKittrick was known and admired by thousands who came in contact with him while students at Arcata High and then went on to remain fast friends through their adult life. It was recalled that he was an outstanding athlete during his college years at Willamette, where he was one of the all time greats in basketball. Funeral arrangements are pending at Paul's Funeral Chapel in Arcata. Vivian McKittrick went to be with the Lord on Oct. 8, 2005. Vivian reached the grand age of 100 years.
