James Wallace "Jim" Reader

Jim was considerate, kind, humble and full of knowledge. I met him and Kay in 2012 and instantly became friends. We would sit in his "glass hut" at the log cabin and enjoy conversation. I will miss his funny text and description of people and animals. He was truly a distinguish gentleman and I'm blessed to have had the privilege to call him my friend. I already miss you. My condolences to his family.

Those of us who were students with Jim in the 1960s still remember his incredible voice. And his gentle sense of humor. He was obviously devoted to good journalism and through that served his fellow citizens. He will be missed.

High School friend.....PHS TROJANS Class of 1961 RIP Jim.

A sincere friend and tennis companion.

What a sweet and kind friend. He was our neighbor for years and we spoke often. He often talked to my husband about his wife and how much he missed her. They are together now and may they both rest in peace. You will be missed my friend.

My condolence to Jim's family and many friends. For several years he was my neighbor in the small Villa Estates neighborhood where he enjoyed life in his beautiful log home. Jim was a kind, gentle, and pleasant neighbor and we were sorry to see him move back to town to be closed to the friends and activities he loved.

I am heartbroken to learn that "Uncle Jim" has passed away. I am his wife´s niece and have had the pleasure of knowing him for many many years. Always witty, quite brilliant, understated and humble, loving and compassionate, a true animal lover with many dogs and cats over the years, Jim was beloved and respected by me, my brother Bob "Bobby" Cummings and all of our families. I have lived for many years now in Michigan but visited annually and had the benefit of many lively phone discussions...

I worked with Jim for many years at Charles Ryan. He was a wonderful person and a joy to work with. He will be greatly missed. Pop

Reader taught me video production. It was my 1st stint @ CRA and Diana Sole came to me with the news that the unprecedented had happened: "Reader wants you on the shoot." I knew radio production inside-out but video was new. And there was nobody better to show me (and everybody else) the ropes. Keep your mouth shut unless asked-never make noise when camera´s rolling. Don´t get in the way of anybody, especially tech. Don´t talk to the client unless you´re addressed. Stay out of the Director´s...
