Sad news. Jim was a fixture on the Montreal sports scene. When the Concordes were set to open camp in 1982 and discovered they didn’t have any footballs, Jim’s on air plea for footballs to be donated led to a full supply for the fledgling team.

May he rest in peace and God bless him. I had a chance to meet Jim few years ago. He had been so kind and generous with me by sharing some old tapes footage of Tim Raines. These tapes were used for our one hour documentary on Tim Raines released in October 2017.
