Forbes on Fox panelist Jim Michaels passes away…
Jim Michaels, the Editor of Forbes Magazine from 1961-1999 — and the senior panelist for FNC’s “Forbes on Fox” Saturday business program, passed away last night. He was 86. According to one FNC staffer who worked closely with Jim, he “lived every bit of his life to the fullest”. “Forbes on Fox” will present a special tribute to Michaels on Saturday at 11 am ET on FNC.
He was a good guy.

About two weeks ago we were discussing Forbes On Fox here on ICN and because he hadn’t appeared in a while, I wondered about Michaels’ health.
Agree with A.M. and Lurker and hope that Forbes On Fox does a tribute this weekend.

Didn’t read the last line. I look forward to the tribute.

You were discussing that with me, Ira. He hadn’t been part of the panel at FOF for several months. Forbes says he died of pneumonia. My condolences go out to his family and friends.
