1936 - 2013
Richard Aronson, Emmy award winning sound audio engineer for ABC News died at his Delray Beach, Florida home on January 1, 2013, surrounded by his family. He was 76. The son of Al and Sue Aronson he was born in Brooklyn on February 25, 1936. Richard's family settled on Long Island in Merrick where he attended Mepham High School and spent summers at Jones Beach. Richard joined the Navy where he developed his interest and skills in engineering and electronics. Following the Navy, he attended the RCA Institute in New York City. Around the same time, he happily met and married his wife Marcia Yudkovitz of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He began his career working in electronics and then local radio stations fine tuning his passion and finding his way to ABC News Radio and later ABC News & Network Television in New York City. From the start, Richard loved his work which took him around the globe – standing shoulder-to-shoulder and bearing witness to some of this era's defining moments: The Kennedy-Nixon debate which was the first in history to be televised; Nixon's momentous and game changing trip to China in 1972; the release of the American hostages who had been held captive for 444 days by Iran; and the Royal Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, just to name a few. Proudly he was recognized for his craft, when he received the 1984-1985 Emmy for "Outstanding Individual Achievement For Senior Audio Operator" for his coverage of the 1984 Summer Olympics. Well into retirement, Richard was a voracious reader, a committed member of the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians (NABET) and an active HAM Radio Operator -- his call signal K2RVM kept him in contact with his many friends around the globe. Most important in Richard's heart was his family. He is survived by his loving wife Marcia Yudkovitz Aronson of 52 years, his three children, Linda Aronson, Alan Aronson and Miriam Mitchell, two son in-laws, Andrew Kronengold and Tony Mitchell, two grandchildren Sophie and Jackson Mitchell, his sister Rona Yohalem and brother Larry Aronson. At the family's wishes, Richard's funeral service will be private. Should you desire and are inclined, contributions in Richard's memory can be made to the NABET Scholarship Fund at 501 Third Street, NW, 6th Floor, Washington, DC 20001.
