Dave,

For many of my generation, "Mr. Wizard" was a key inspiration for
becoming involved with science and technology, not to mention
performing any number of extremely messy tabletop and kitchen sink
experiments.  I still have some of his books in my collection.  He'd
been living just a few miles up the road from where I'm sitting
typing this right now.

The theme music from his "Watch Mr. Wizard" show is now running
through my head in an endless loop.

Goodbye, Mr. Wizard.
