The Death of a Legend

On a day that has taken both Ingmar Bergman and Tom Snyder from us, I want to make note of the passing of Marvin Zindler, a commentator on ABC 13 Eyewitness News in Houston, TX. Regularly contributing to the newscast since 1973, Zindler was a local personality rivaled in ubiquity only by Furniture tycoon Mattress Max. Zindler’s crusading weekly report “Slime in the Ice Machine,” had such credibility as to decided the fate of dining establishments who failed to ensure they were up to snuff. Zindler was certainly feared by some, by respected - nay - adored, by most. The vacuum he leaves in Houston’s broadcasting community is undeniable but he will continue to live on in our hearts and, of course, in our ice machines.

He will surely be missed.
