Good riddance. I tired of his use of the word "guff" instead of "gulf" years ago.

Ok-mug-gee.[:D] He doesn't look well. I hope his cancer has not returned. A nice guy.
Always seemed like a nice guy with a pleasant, kind, caring, personality. Is a familiar face that will be missed. I rank him right up there with Don Woods, remember the gusty cartoons he would draw? and Lee Woodward and one can not of course forget King Lionel. Time moves on.

I interned the summer of '83 at Channel 6 and I only have nice things to say about Jim Giles.
He was very nice & always had encouraging words to us dorky interns.
I loved Gusty & King Lionel! Isn't Gusty the official state cartoon? Would be fun to see some of those old segments again.
You're a nerd if you don't like Jim Giles.

We will miss you, Jim!!
Thanks for the many years....[:)]

I had the pleasure of meeting and visiting with both Jim and his wife a couple of weeks ago. Half an hour isn't necessarily enough to make a thorough judgment, but he was just as nice and easygoing in person as he is on TV.
I used to go to school with Jim's Grand-daughter. I used to hear nothing but wonderful things about him. He sounds like a wonderful grand-dad. Honestly, I'm a little sad to see him go. He was one of the few people that could calm me down during a tornado warning when I was a kid. I think it was the kind face, and voice. Next tornado season I'm gonna be just as scared again!
I'll miss you Jim Giles! Thank you for everything!

My wife and I wondered about that. We happened to tune into 6 the night he announced his retirement. He's lost a lot of weight and his voice also sounded a little shaky.
I'm sure we'll all miss his colorful, Christmas sweaters also.
I guess Travis now has the responsibility of advising us when the sky is falling.
Great guy.
