Jimmy Pearson Staggs

My very deepest sympathies to the family of Jim Stagg. I knew him back in his radio days and had deep respect for him.

Very sad to hear this. I knew Jim in his CFL days and spent some time with him in and out of the station. What a decent guy! It was from him that I learned of the workings of top 40 radio during that period of time. I then made a career move to Atlanta, but from that distance could only keep up with his moves to NBC and eventually to his own record store. Most of this information came from a former Atlanta radio personality.

For any of those who had an opportunity to know Jim, I...

I'm so sorry for your loss. Jim was a very special person and I feel fortunate I had the chance to know him in the time I worked at his store 20 years ago. He really left an impression with me -- just a few days ago something triggered up a memory of "Merch, Inc." and one of his daughters fussed about how (then) young PJ was parroting back merchandising tips he was learning from Jim. I never unloaded my vinyl, and a lot came from Jim's stores in the 80's. You are all in my prayers to get...

I used to always go to WCFL Studios and watch Jim Stagg. Jim was the one who motivated me to want a career in radio.
I will always remember his beautiful professional radio style.
As far as I am concerned he was the best DJ CFL ever had.

I listened to Jim's show on WCFL faithfully. My teenage deams came true when I won WCFL'S "Beatle Memory Trip". Jim accompanied my Mom and I the entire trip. He was our chaperone, tour guide, mentor, entertainor and friend. Jim's patience, kindness, good nature, enthusiasm and fun-loving spirit made it a wonderful experience, not just for this Beatle-crazed teenager, but for Mom as well. We will always treasure the memories thanks to this very special man. My heart goes out to Jim's entire...

My deepest sympathies to the family of Jim Stagg. He was a joy to listen to, as like Art Roberts, no screaming or yelling. A legendary DJ of the golden era of top 40 radio.

My condolences to Valene and the Stagg family.Jim always greeted me with a smile and "Hello Tony, how's it going?'. He is now up there organizing God's music room.
Bless you. Anthony Mecali(RCA)

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

To Valene and family,

We were shocked to see the article in the newspaper about Jim's passing.

Our thoughts are with you at this time. Keep your memories in your heart wherever you go.
