James Kennedy Angell (Age 94)
Died on January 9, 2018 at Byron House in Potomac, Maryland.
Jim came to Washington, DC in 1956 to work as a meteorologist at the Weather Bureau, now the National Weather Service. He spent his entire career, including 44 years as a federal employee and 10 years as a contractor, at NOAA's Air Resources Lab. Angell pioneered advances in the understanding of climate variability, stratospheric processes and the ozone layer.
Born in Detroit, Michigan on November 2, 1923, Jim was the son of Esther (Kennedy) and Robert Angell.
Jim is survived by his sister, Sally Parsons of Birmingham, Michigan; children, John, Jane Cohen, Robert, James and Diane; 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He graduated from the Ranch School in Los Alamos, New Mexico and the University of Michigan and received his Ph.D. from UCLA in meteorology.
In California he met and married Margaret McCaffrey, who predeceased him.
He was one of Arena Stage's earliest season ticket holders and attended hundreds of classical music concerts at the Kennedy Center. He played tennis into his late seventies. He spent every August in Charlevoix, Michigan at his family's cottage where he sailed and took long hikes.
His family will greatly miss his kindness, intelligence, and calm presence. Services will be held in Michigan at a later date.
