James A. McGaw

Just wanted to pop in and leave a note about my old colleague, Jim. I´m shocked at his passing... We first met at WISM. Couple of young guys breaking into the business. Nicest guy you could hope to meet... we were both there during the launch of magic 98, and both endured the crappy hours you have at the beginning of a career... while our paths diverged in life, I´ll always smile at the thought of Jim and the laughs we shared...May we all remember Jim´s laugh - singular in its joy - and...

I only knew him being on the radio. Loved his voice & his laugh!! I listened to 94.9 radio station alot. He had a great radio voice! He was just a great guy on the radio! I couldn't believe it when I heard it on TV that he died. I thought who could possibly take his place on the radio that would be as good as he was?? I still really miss hearing his voice! I'll never forget him. I turn the radio on & expect to hear his voice even tho I know he's gone. It's just so sad!! May he rest in peace!...

I had a radio production task the first year I didn't want to do anymore, so I thought I could pawn it off on a first year student. The first time I saw Jim I thought, "Why, there's a vulnerable looking fellow!" I explained it and he was all enthused like I was giving him something really...

Jimmy was one in a million! He was the most fun to work with, he would always be there to lend a hand if you needed some help, he had a giant heart and he was one of the funniest people I´ve ever met. He was a total delight to work with for the many years he followed me on the air. There is a special bond between air personalities when they handover the Air chair to each other. I am pleased and proud to have been considered one of his friends. Maybe someday I´ll be as good as he was on the...
