Charlie Burrell, beloved KCTS supervisor and king of one-liners, dies of coronavirus


Charlie Burrell was good with one-liners.

Known at work for both professionalism and jokes, he made employees around Seattle’s PBS station KCTS laugh during his decades as a broadcast operations supervisor.

He joked with the nurses during his cancer treatments after a 2014 diagnosis of multiple myeloma. “It’s all good,” he would say as he was poked with needles over and over again.

“He thought he was so funny,” said his wife, Diane.

Mr. Burrell died April 11 from complications related to the coronavirus, after being hospitalized for nine days. He was 78.

Born on Jan. 25, 1942, in Monroe, Louisiana, Mr. Burrell grew up in Bremerton and went to Olympic College. He served in the Army in Korea starting in 1965 before beginning work at KCTS in the late 1960s.
