In Memory of a Legend

by Jill Eisnaugle — Read all 611 poems by Jill Eisnaugle

A poem written in memory of Marvin Zindler, a Houston television icon who, as the KTRK-TV (ABC 13) consumer affairs reporter, served our community with an iron fist and golden heart, whether he was aiding residents in need or uncovering large scale news events, such as the Chicken Ranch brothel, which inspired the movie and Broadway production of "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." Marvin lost his bout with cancer, yesterday, at the age of 85. Yet, his memory and the legacy he left behind will endure for years and generations to come.

 In memory of Marvin Zindler
1921 ~ 2007

 

 

For years, ‘cross the airwaves, a legend did roam
But now, Marvin Zindler has made his way Home,
An icon who strove to make this world bright
Has dusted his wings and flown toward the light.

 

Our region is mourning; our hearts feel the pain
But, Marvin’s life was one never lived in vain,
His strong sense of good became his legacy
And what we’ll remember in his memory.

 

The airwaves are dimmer; they’ll be evermore
A true Houston marvel has reached Heaven's Door,
Our thanks to you, Marvin; our lives you have blessed
Rest always in peace; you were truly the best.

His achievements will never be matched... an original who did so much good.

BTW--I wrote at least two letters to him that were never answered. I guess his staff just received too many.

We could do with a personality like that in our little island. I admire a person who is ready to fight for the rights of the general man in the street. Victor

A beatiful touching tribute for Marvin, I watched him when I lived and worked in Houston...he was a fabulous man and well respected.
I Live in Arizona and 4 of our News pilots were killed, very heart wrenching to see such wonderful News men pass on...our state is in Morning along with yours...God bless them all for their outstanding
work...thank you Jill for this heartfelt tribute for Marvin...Hugs, Peggy
