i remember his comical weather reports. sunny skies he termed a "good guy," stormy weather was a "bad guy." he would say : "we got a bad guy coming up the coast from the south, but a good guy is on the way right after that." he wasn't your typical boring reporter. he personalized everything he covered with emotion and wit.

Rest in peace, my friend
That was a good man... I met him as a child and he would have been a broadcasting icon even had he not died. Many do not realize, his daughter starred on Frazier. We'll not forget...

Wow...I was too young to know who Jim O'Brien was, but I;m not too young to realize the impact he had to the news staff at Channel 6. When gary Papa died, I'm sure that many people in the newsroom thought about Jim O'Brien a bit. He will always be in the hearts of Philadelphians and in the newsroom at 6ABC.
BTW- Was the Rick Williams listed in the credits the same Rick Williams that does the morning and noon newscasts now?
