It is with deep sadness that we regret to announce the passing of Don
Herbert - the one and only "Mr. Wizard". Don lost his battle with cancer
today, June 12, 2007, at 9 AM Pacific Daylight Time - slightly more than
one month shy of his 90th birthday. He was lovingly surrounded by his
family, who are at once, saddened by his passing, and relieved that he
is no longer suffering.
We all feel extremely lucky to have had him in our lives and to have
known and worked with Don over the years. We have also been tremendously
honored to carry on his legacy as an original and truly legendary figure
in the worlds of both Television and Science Education. He has been
inspirational and influential in so many ways and on so many lives and
we are comforted in the fact that his ground breaking work and legacy
will continue to inspire many more people for years to come.
Thank you so much to all of you for your support and sympathy.
Sincerely, The Family
