I remember driving home with my mom mom from the eagles vs cardinals game that day . I was 9 years old. I used to imitate him with the wand. My parents still remind me of when I "portrayed" him at home. Dearly missed

No one could make weather as fun as Jim OBrien

This was the lead on all three Philadelphia TV stations that day.

I was 12 years old when then tragedy happened. Even when I was a child I didn't care much about the news that was going on, I waited at 11:00 PM to see the late Jim O'Brien. In 1988, in highschool, we had to do a "mock" exercise, it was 3 groups of teens who had to be newscasters. I had volunteered to do the weather, I took what I saw from Mr. O'Brien and did my "weather" segment, I actually make a prop with cut out cardboard and pieces of clouds, the sun and thunderstorms. Thank you Jim.

This marks a rare weekend appearance by Jim Gardner at the Action News anchor desk, using the chair that then-weekend sports anchor Gary Papa would use later in the show. Ironically, Gary's chair (obviously a newer one) was left empty at the anchor desk on June 19, 2009 to honor his memory.

Isn't one of O'Brien's two daughters Peri Gilpin (Roz of Fraiser)?

I remember this real well. I was 8. My parents loved him so I remeber his weather forecasts.
