If you attended the WOBMChristmas Classic during its

days at Ocean County College and for thefirst couple of years after it moved to TomsRiver you might remember Jim Williams.He was a familiar face working the ticketbooth and greeted everyone with a warmsmile (and often a joke). Jim loved to talkwith people and sometimes the line gotlonger when he was in the middle of a goodconversation. A longtime resident ofSeaside Heights who served proudly in theUS Marine Corps, he will be missed by hisfamily and many friends.
