Jim Baird was an exceedingly good gentleman and a highly valued co-worker at The Pittsburgh Press. He is surely enjoying life everlasting with his family and other loved ones in the palm of The Lord's hands.

Jim was an unsung hero in the Features Department at The Pittsburgh Press. He did all the hard work -- editing copy and writing headlines - but he got none of the glory.
