@lbkgilman I totally agree. I am 38 and do remember his reportings. Funny, sense of humor, nobody does the weather like he did. The man knew the job perfectly!

I grew up listening to Jim on WFIL and watching him do the weather report with the Good Guys and the Bad Guys. He still is missed. Thanks for the memories...

Jim O'Brien had a lot to do with my being in the broadcasting business. He did record hops at Archbishop Ryan HS soon after coming to Philly from TX. I worked those record hops and he and I got to know each other -- let me watch him work at WFIL and we had many long talks about my goal of getting into broadcasting. He was a good friend with a big heart -- and gave me the gift of a lot of common sense and experience, which came in handy over what would be more than 30 years in the business.
