72242. George Butler Storer Jr.
The Miami Herald (FL)
July 13, 2007George Butler Storer Jr., the cable-television pioneer and aviation executive whose innovations made it harder to steal cable service and easier to fly from Miami to the Northeast, died of congestive heart failure at Mount Sinai Medical Center Saturday, said his wife, Violet Dunker Storer. He was 81.
As president from 1961-65 of Miami Beach-based Storer Broadcasting Co., he guided the company into the cable age.
An electrical engineer, he invented the first cable anti-theft "trap," the prototype of which remains at the Storers' Surfside apartment.
He was born in Toledo, Ohio, two years before his father, George B. Storer Sr., and his father's brother-in-law, J. Harold Ryan, founded Storer Broadcasting in 1927 with a single radio station.
He later attended the University of Colorado, served in the U.S. Navy and ran Storer stations in Atlanta and San Antonio.
He moved to Miami in 1954 as vice president of the television division.
The company was "always looking for other opportunities" for expansion because one company could own only seven television and seven radio licenses at a time, said Storer's older son, George B. "Hap" Storer III. (One of the latter was Miami's WGBS, George B. Storer's initials.)
The company got into Community Antenna Television (CATV), "with an antenna high on a hill that fed [a signal] through cables to the houses," said Hap, 56, whose mother, Joan Stanton, was his father's first wife.
The company sold for about $2 billion in a 1985 leveraged buyout.
By then it was known as Storer Communications, with 1.5 million subscribers.
Her husband's real love was aviation, said Violet Storer.
After Storer Broadcasting bought the financially troubled Northeast Airlines from Howard Hughes in 1965, Storer became board chairman, moved to Boston and created Northeast's "Yellowbird" campaign: yellow-and-white Boeing 727s, flight attendants in yellow and green hotpants, the "Fly Northeast Yellowbirds To . . ." slogan.
"We were so glad to see him come," recalls Capt. Robert Mudge of Massachusetts, a retired Northeast and Delta pilot whose 1969 book, Adventures of a Yellowbird; The Biography of an Airline (Brandon Press), credits the Storers with modernizing the fleet and expanding the routes.
"George Storer was a blessing," Mudge said. "He saved the airline."
At least for awhile. Northeast merged with Delta in 1972.
During his tenure at Northeast, the airline won the right to compete head-to-head with National and Eastern airlines on the Miami/New York/New England routes.
Northeast had only temporary authorization to fly the routes, said Hap Storer, a Connecticut banker.
It was "turned down time and time again" for full authorization, he said.
"There was a major [lobbying] campaign by Northeast employees," which succeeded.
An open-ocean racer, fisherman and sport shooter, Storer moved to California in the 1970s and founded Storer Yacht, which modified sailing yachts for West Coast racing.
Ted Turner, a business peer and sailing buddy, called him "a great yachtsman and a terrific person" in an e-mail.
Hap said the men had a running gag: exchanging a bottle of scotch that could only be opened by the one who beat the other twice in a row. It never was, he said.
Storer returned to Miami in 1976 with his second wife, now Barbara Storer Rubin, and son David, starting several ventures that includes Miami Voice Corp., which made voicemail equipment.
Father and son developed a passion for radio-controlled model airplanes, which they built by the dozen in a house across the street from the Surfside apartment, said David Storer of Fort Lauderdale.
He now teaches people to fly the planes at Markham Park in Sunrise.
His father made his plane from scratch, in a workshop filled with woodworking and electrical tools, said Storer, 37.
"His mind was a beautiful thing. He was a walking calculator."
He was also a romantic. After an ill-fated two-year marriage to his third wife, Claire Theresa Traendly, Storer met Violet at the Surf Club, where he was a regular at the bridge tables and bar.
On their first date in February 1985, he asked if she'd have time off in April.
While she ducked into the powder room, he had the piano player begin April in Paris, which she realized was an invitation.
They married at the Surf Club, then honeymooned in Paris. In April.
Beside his wife and sons, Storer is survived by brothers James, Peter and Robert Storer, and four grandchildren.
The Blade (Toledo, OH)
November 12, 2009Peter Storer, a onetime executive at WSPD television who became chief executive of the pioneering broadcast firm founded in Toledo by his father, died Sunday in his Saratoga, Wyo., home from complications of cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. He was 81.
A Toledo native, Mr. Storer was appointed managing director of WSPD-TV - now WTVG-TV, Channel 13 - in January, 1959, by station vice president Allen L. Haid.
By then, Mr. Storer had held various jobs for stations in Detroit, New York, Birmingham, Ala., Atlanta, Miami, and Cleveland, all part of Storer Broadcasting Co., headed by his father, George B. Storer. He'd also worked for CBS Radio.
"I remember him well," said Frank Venner, longtime news anchor for WSPD-TV. "I thought he was a very interesting guy. I think he was a good administrator. He was a very, very good manager.
"He had a good presence of mind," said Mr. Venner, who began at WSPD in 1949. "He had learned so much of the broadcasting field from his father, George, Sr., and was a remarkable guy in terms of the open-door policy. Anybody could come in his office and see him. He didn't play high-hat, although he certainly could have because, of course, the Storer name was large."
Wherever he lived or worked, Toledo was his home base, his son, Peter, Jr., said, and he visited the Toledo stations periodically when he ran Storer.
"It's where the company started, and he was born there," his son said. "He always had a fond memory of Toledo and the time we spent there."
Storer Broadcasting - at first, the Fort Industry Co. - grew out of his father's purchase in 1927 of a low-watt radio station, WTAL, which went on the air in 1921. The call letters were changed to WSPD, because the family sold Speedene gasoline at their service stations, and the wattage was boosted.
Storer holdings later included WJBK radio and, later, television, in Detroit and, at the time of the elder Mr. Storer's death in 1975, stations in Atlanta, Milwaukee, Cleveland, San Diego, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami - the firm's headquarters city for years - and New York City.
WSPD-TV went on the air in 1948, the first television station in Toledo.
Mr. Storer spent his earliest years on Robinwood Avenue in the Old West End. The family later moved to Bloomfield Hills, Mich. Because he lived nearby, he attended school at Cranbrook, but not did not board there. He attended the University of Michigan and was a graduate of the University of Miami.
In 1960, Mr. Storer moved to New York and started Storer Television Sales, which worked to persuade national advertisers to buy ads on any combination of Storer stations.
In 1967, he became Storer Broadcasting executive vice president. He was named CEO after his father died and, eventually, chairman. He emphasized expansion, especially into cable television. The firm eventually held cable franchises with more than 500 communities in eight states and became Storer Communications. "He was very proud of the legacy that his father had turned over to him," his son said.
Mr. Storer was a former board member of the National Association of Broadcasters and was in a television management hall of fame. He retired after a leveraged buyout of the firm in 1986 by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. Storer then was the nation's fourth-largest multiple system cable operator with stock valued at $2 billion.
He was disappointed that the firm his father founded had been sold. "But he focused his energy in philanthropy," his son said. He became involved in the George B. Storer Foundation, which contributes to the YMCA Storer Camps, named for his grandfather, among other nonprofit causes.
He enjoyed fly-fishing and liked the West and the outdoors. His father had a Wyoming ranch for years, and he was a founding board member of the Wyoming Community Foundation and the Wyoming chapter of the Nature Conservancy. He was on the national board of Trout Unlimited.
"His wife, Ginny, was born in Miami and raised on the Keys and was an avid outdoorswoman," their son said. "The two of them, frankly, preferred to be out and about than in a corporate setting. They could have lived anywhere, but they chose to come back to his roots here in Saratoga and also had a house for years at Islamorada in the Keys."
He married the former Virginia "Ginny" Parker Oct. 19, 1951. She died Sept. 2, 2007.
Surviving are his son; Peter, Jr.; daughters, Leslie Smith, Elizabeth Storer, and Linda Anderson; brothers, Jim and Robert Storer; four granddaughters, and four stepgrandchildren.
