Edward Schwartz Obituary

SCHWARTZ, Edward "Buz" Popular radio talk show host Buz Schwartz passed away quietly at home in Pasadena October 14, 2006. Buz was the long time host of the Investor's Club of the Air and the owner/operator of Money Radio, radio station KMNY of Upland, California. More recently Buz provided market timing advice for individual investors online at investors-Club.com. Always the quintessential entrepreneur, Buz strayed far from his roots as an electronics engineer. He was a pioneer in the radio paging business, successfully importing the first Japanese pagers into the US in the late 1960's. Later he founded Sell Overseas America and Showcase USA Magazine to promote American exports. Born May 20, 1926 in Brooklyn, New York, Buz served in the South Pacific during WWII as a member of the U.S. Coast Guard. He is survived by daughter Ronni and son Martin. Services will be held at Mount Sinai Memorial Park, 5950 Forest Lawn Drive, Los Angeles, California 90068 (800) 600-0076.

I was on show with Ed's show in 1988 we had a great time. I sure would like to get my hands on a copy of that show.

Although I only ever met Buz once in person, I count him as my "radio friend". Daily for many years I listened to his interesting program on his station "Money Radio". The 1600 spot on the AM dial dominated the upper range of that band here on Los Angeles as far as Im concerned! Opinionated, historical, informative and even a bit "off the wall", Buz was completely enjoyed by all.

Many of the well known financial radio shows on the air today, can trace their humble roots to starting on KMNY.

Today I run my own finacial radio program on KNEW 910 on Sunday afternoons in San Francisco. Each week I play "oldies but goodies" at some point in the show. I confess to stealing this idea from the one who originated it...Buz Schwartz.

I was blessed to learn from you.
