Jack Williams appeared on camera on Channel 5's 6:00 segment as did R.D. 
Sahl. Jack Hynes added his comments via the phone. Chronicle did a great 
tribute to Chet, Dick Albert. Mike Lynch and Mary Richardson were live in 
studio to share their thoughts. They ended the show with Chet's HOF 
induction speech, with clips of his career mixing in with the video of the 
speech.

Kudos to Channel 4 for paying a proper tribute to Chet. I don't know if 
Channels 7 or 25 gave Chet's passing much airtime, but NECN's Jim Braude 
show was devoted to remembering Chet.
