I just read the notice about Jim Matour's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Jim at PGW he was the Director of Marketing, actually my boss and a great mentor. I can still see Jim coming into our Hunting Park office every morning dressed impeccably, he was a knowledgeable business professional, well liked and never had a bad word to say about anyone. Rest In Peace my dear friend Jim.

We're so sorry to hear of Jim's passing, and offer our sincere condolences to the whole family. We feel so fortunate to have known him, having spent countless mornings chatting with him at the East Falls train station. He was full of wisdom and kindness, a true gentleman through and through. Rest in peace Jim.
