Friend : Jim Sellars (NØUAM)

Jim was a friend of mine and was a coordinator of the Southwest Missouri Regional SKYWARN network. The following is a quote from another SKYWARN member, regarding Jim's story (Patti Flowers-Palmer KDØAEL) : It is with tremendous sadness that I am here to tell you of the passing of a great man. Today, May 22, 2018, N0UAM Jim Sellars went silent key. We all knew Jim as the rock solid voice of the Southwest Missouri Regional Skywarn.

Jim was there night and day to provide the region with time-valued weather information for the protection of life and property. He was a mentor to so many people, not just in our region of the world, but for many storm chasers as well.

Jim was an AMS Certified Meteorologist and possessed more knowledge of meteorology than many of us could hope to ever learn. When not busy with the weather for Southwest Missouri, and Jim used his vast knowledge to provide information to chasers in the field to help keep them safe. He also spent many hours running Echolink nets for the National Hurricane Center. And, he continued to elmer right up until his last moments.

He had a colorful past including time spent as a police officer for the City of Springfield, many years of work with AT&T, and as a ball player."
