WOLX personality Jim McGaw died Sunday.
“Jim was the hardest working and thoughtful person in radio,” an article from the Madison radio station stated. “He was always willing to help and wanted to do whatever he could to make the place where he worked better.”
McGaw was on the air in Madison for about 40 years. He was at WOLX for 11 years. Before that he was on Magic 98 (WMGN) and he started his career on WISM.
“He was a great entertainer, but was so humble about what he did. On the air, Jim always had some quick comment about life or what was going on in the world that would make everyone laugh.”
The station said McGaw had some health problems over the last few years, but never complained.
“He always said he didn’t want to let his co-workers or his listeners down by missing a day on the air.”
