When we all worked together at WSGA, everyone had fun, we were all friends and it was one of the most exciting times in our lives. Jim was a big part of everything, friends with everyone, always eager to talk about radio and always smiling! Jim will always be a part of those memories.

We've listened to Jim for many, many years on local stations. We welcomed the sound of his voice and marveled at his knowledge of music. May G-d Bless and keep him.

Jim was a dear, dear man who made my move to Savannah so much easier! He was warm, sweet and he made me feel welcome to WSGA/WZAT so many years ago! Ryan, you had-no-have a wonderful father. He'll always be in so many hearts!!

Ryan, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I knew him as I worked alongside him at WZAT/Z102 from 1984-2002. He was a dear friend and I learned so much from him. He was not only very smart but had this quite calm about him that I always admired. I remember when you were born and what you meant to him. Please know that you are in my prayers during this time.
