Jim started at WLNH, then to Baltimore I believe, the to WSB in Atlanta, to Boston and finally WBZ. When I started with Jim at WBZ in 1999, we made a connection, as I followed his path(not knowingly). I sat behind him, so we heard each others interviews/conversations. I think we could say "laugh" as he caught me in a couple of "rookie"" Boston contact interviews. He was wonderful with my three young children when they came to visit. We also went to Warner to see his bookstore...an amazing space. A wonderful man... <BR/><BR/>I'm stunned and so saddened. Love your family,friends, and colleagues. Appreciate laughter....Jim was infectious.<BR/><BR/>OX<BR/><BR/>SuzanneSuzanne Roantreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05962913146765587735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17194819.post-47724867426543583672008-06-09T12:02:00.000-04:002008-06-09T12:02:00.000-04:00I worked with Jim at WHDH in the '80s. I used to joke that his radio career was a "cover" for his CIA career. He made you feel like the most important person in the world, and a more self deprecating person I've never met. What a great laugh. What a great time. What a great guy.Bob Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04422722044859589459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17194819.post-53928919224560701752008-06-09T00:20:00.000-04:002008-06-09T00:20:00.000-04:00Jim and my paths crossed many times since the early 1980's. Always the finest gentleman you would want to meet. His passing is a great loss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
