Bill Weisinger Passes Away

WSTB Streetsboro Chief Engineer Bill (Uncle Bill) Weisinger passed away today November 5th at a resting home in Streetsboro Ohio, he was 61 years old. Bill was a big part in keeping not only WSTB on the air, but many stations throughout Northeastern Ohio on the air.

I will miss his dry humor and his warm friendship, he collected everything radio-(piece's parts, books, test equipment and so on), and knew everything there was to know about engineering, he will be missed by many, and he even continued to work from his care center room up until his death today. Thanks Uncle Bill for helping many get started in radio, and for all your help with solving engineering problems, and for keeping them all "on the air"-Rest In Peace My Longtime Radio Friend!!!
 
I'm so sorry to hear that. Bill and I were friends from our college days at BGSU. He and I built WNRR in Bellevue, Ohio in 1973 and we kept in touch after he left for Cleveland. We used to get together every Spring at the Dayton Ham Fest and renew abit.

I talked to him a few weeks ago and you would never know from talking with him that he was sick. We talked about his cancer a few months back when OMW reported his condition and he was very stoick about it. I remember him saying " Well I don't know what to expect I've never done this before" that was typical Bill Weisinger. This guy will really be missed especially by all the people he helped and taught through the years. Rest in Peace Buddy
 
Sad to hear about this. Engineers rarely get the credit they deserve. They are on the front line of broadcasting. You can be the best on-air personality of all time, or the most creative programmer or the the most persuasive at selling time, but if the transmitter isn't on, or isn't operating efficiently or properly (as in how the on-air product sounds), none of those other things matter.
