Sad but true.
No telling how many he influenced to pursue science. Or at least be entertained by it!

never heard of him but sounds like a decent educationalist type guy

I used to watch him all the time as a kid. I thought he would have died awhile ago. The one episode I really remember is how to make the hot air balloon with the clear plastic bag. Actually, now that I am thinking about him, I am having a ton of flashbacks to his shows. Wierd how memories work.

Yeah, I've found over the course of the week that I remember quite a bit of his show too.....same thing happened when Mr. Rogers died.
