He had\nbeen in poor health for the past several years. Tom was Senior Editor\nand founding Editor of Popular Communications magazine, a CQ\npublication.

When\nS9 ceased publication, Kneitel and current CQ Publisher Dick Ross,\nK2MGA, launched Popular Communications in 1982. Tommy was Editor of\nPop'Comm until 1995, when he gave up day-to-day responsibilities for the\nmagazine and became Senior Editor. He served as an advisor and resource\nto his successors until recently before his passing. He was also the\nauthor of a multitude of books on CB, scanning and other radio-related\ntopics.\n\n\"It goes without saying that Pop’Comm wouldn’t exist had it not been for\nthe vision and hard work of Tommy Kneitel,\" says current Popular\nCommunications Editor Edith Lennon, N2ZRW. \"In the 13 years he headed\nthis magazine, with great zeal, foresight, and his inimitable humor, he\nhelped shape this hobby of ours and quite possibly an entire industry.\"\n\nLennon added, \"Personally, I feel very fortunate to have had the\nopportunity to work with him over the years, to have experienced the\npure delight of his story-telling abilities, and to have picked up even\njust a little bit of his vast wealth of knowledge.\"\n\n\"Tommy was a great friend from the early 1960s on,\" noted CQ Publisher\nDick Ross, K2MGA. \"He was also the most creative and inventive person\nI've ever known.\"\n\nTommy is survived by his wife of 54 years, Judy, two sons, five\ndaughters and ten grandchildren.
