The passing of Dick Golembiewski
The expert on Milwaukee’s TV history, Dick Golembiewski, died Sunday after suffering an apparent heart attack while shoveling snow.
Dick’s detailed “Milwaukee Television History: The Analog Years,” the product of more than a decade of research, came out late last year.
He also created a Web site, that chronicled the old hosts of Milwaukee’ horror movie programs.
The 51-year-old Golembiewski worked the microphone at WMSE-FM (91.7) under the name Dick Nitelinger, a persona he kept alive at his Horror Hosts site.
I didn’t know Dick that well, But we spoke from time to time on the phone. He was an enthusiastic student of the media and of Milwaukee history.
Dick’s book was a labor of love, and I’m happy that he at least got to see it in print before his untimely passing.
