It’s been a few months since South Milwaukee lost Jim Cullen, a former Milwaukee newsman who touched countless lives.
His memory will be celebrated on Saturday, January 4, with an event at Pat’s Oak Manor, 1804 15th Ave., starting at 3 p.m. Food and drink will be served, and a silent auction is planned. Cover is $5.

Update: Here is a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story.
I did not know Jim Cullen. From what I’ve seen the past couple of days, I wish I had. It is pretty amazing to see the outpouring of sympathy following the South Milwaukeean’s death on Wednesday.
We should all be lucky to leave such a legacy — and so many friends.
You can get a sense of this on this long string of Facebook posts starting with a touching tribute from WTMJ meteorologist Brian Gotter. And WTMJ and WISN ran stories on Cullen’s death Wednesday.
Cullen worked at both stations on the assignment desk, among other stops at Midwest stations, and was named to the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences coveted Silver Circle in 2012. TMJ4 did a terrific feature on Jim at that time.
Please keep the Cullen family and friends in your prayers — and consider helping defray some of the family’s medical bills by donating here.
