My condolenses, sounds like your friend was very special and a ''true blue'' TV tech as well by the sounds of it. And at 56, thats too young.
He'll be over the other side keeping himself busy with all those old sets in heaven that need attention. G.

Thanks for the words guys. He will certainly be missed. But wow... I didn't think I'd have to worry about missing him for at least another 15-20 years!
This all goes to show just how important it is to go to the doctor when you're not feeling just right. Something minor can turn into something major really fast.

Amen. Everybody watch your cholesterol, quit smoking, lose weight, and you geezers over 40 bend over and get your differential checked every year. Doesn't sound like fun but it's best to do.

I alway dislike seeing another obituary for an old TV repairman. We are a dying breed!
May your friend Rest In Peace. I wonder if they still have analog in heaven? |

In addition to the tragedy itself, it really hurts to lose somebody with the talent to work on the bad parts of the PC board instead of swapping it out. OT, I'm wondering if the TV service we used in the past is still around, if he is, he's probably in his 60's now. I guess we all have to take a step back and think that if you are in good health, be thankful for it.

I am very sorry another great person past. It is sweet to think of all of you hanging out and watching old movies, etc. on old sets. Eckhard is a wonderful man and I will include him in my prayers as well. |

I may not know the tricks of the trade the old dogs did, as i was never around any old dogs growing up, but I am 24 and i do understand and make use of valve technology, as well as the most modern technology. like TVs these days are just computers with a screen that run linux or other variants of unix. But i do have to agree, we are a dying breed. and it royally sucks. I am still young and stupid, but there are no more mentors around to look up to anymore.
I used to look up to a teacher in my 5th grade class whos husband was an electronics technician. that was quite the experience. but you know, thats only been one experience, and the only one. I learned electronics strictly through knowledge and mistakes. especially mistakes. When i made a disastrous mistake, i always figured out what, why and how. thats the best avenue to go at least for me. Sorry for your loss bro. |
