Dear Brothers and Sisters,

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of IBEW 1212 member Jeffrey Ringel. Local 1212 remembers Jeff for his talent and vast accomplishments spanning a forty plus year career in broadcasting.

Jeff honed his craft at CUNY Kingsborough and Queens College prior to joining CBS Television in 1976, where he started as a Video Tape operator and worked his way up to Technical Director. During his remarkable Emmy award winning career, he worked with the best in the business on prestigious sporting events including NASCAR, Major League Baseball, Super Bowls, College Basketball, and the Olympics.

On a personal note, I will always be grateful for Jeff’s support and mentorship. His guidance and insights will always be invaluable to me. May God bless Jeff and the Ringel family during this challenging time.
