Homer Joseph Venso

Homer and Louise were lifelong friends to my entire family. I am a better person for having known him. Martha Herron (Dallas, TX)

miss you my friend/no one was your equal.

Homer was the only video engineer I ever saw who made it a habit to come out to the studio and check the colors of the anchor's outfits so he could dial the cameras in correctly. He was a dear to me and had a great work ethic. I talk about you all the time at work, my friend! Godspeed.

I had the pleasure of working with Homer during his final years at KXAS. As a reporter one worries about how the technical aspects of live broadcasting will come together. Not to worry with Homer around. Homer forgot more about television than most of us will ever know. Homer truly worked in the golden age of the medium and he was one of the people who truly made it so. If anyone can get a live shot out of Heaven it's Homer, so we may be seeing him again somewhere down the line.

Homer was a true pioner in television. He was key in building the first news live truck. If the part wasn't available, or the station couldn't afford it, Homer would build it. Using his personal welder, Homer pretty much built the first two or three tv trucks we had. And he was always quick with a joke to lighten the day.
