Years ago I would see him with other radio engineers around the Tribune Tower and NBC Tower, but I didn't know much about him.
I have seen many tributes to him since he died.

Nice story.
Bet he worked at the Channel 26 studios in the Board of Trade building.

I recall their I.D. “Broadcasting from the top of the Board of Trade, Chicago’s first ultra high frequency station.”
