From Associated press Obit:
"He did a lot of the ground work for the Commercial Advertising and Home TV Shopping Industry.
He was CEO, sales rep and user-in-chief rolled into one. .... He edited his own infomercials, scrawled out his own cue cards, wrote the copy for his "operators standing by."
He cheerfully gave away his infomercial content to moviemakers looking for something to be playing on TV in the background of their films. In this way did he extend his reputation for ubiquity — and his growing wink-nudge pop-culture brand — for free, with no effort at all. Others did the work, and he got the eyeballs."
