http://www.multichannel.com/article/467371-Updated_Hub_Schlafly_Teleprompter_Inventor_Eulogized.php Funeral services were held Tuesday in Greenwich, Conn., for Hubert "Hub" Schlafly, the inventor of the teleprompter and a member of the Cable Hall of Fame.
He died at a Stamford, Conn., hospital at age 91 on April 20 of undisclosed causes, according to news reports.
Les Read, a longtime friend of Schlafly's and executive director of the Cable TV Pioneers organization, estimated 250-300 people attended the funeral mass at St. Mary's Church. Among those in attendance were Cablevision Systems chairman Charles Dolan, former Century Communications chairman Leonard Tow and former Starz Encore chairman John Sie, Read said.
"It was a wonderful service, I came away very, very inspired," Read said. "We lost a great one." Eulogists noted Schlafly's contributions to Notre Dame University, among other good works, he said.
Schlafly became best known for inventing the teleprompter scrolling text reader in the 1950s, to help a soap opera actor who could not remember his lines, he said during his Cable Hall induction in 2008.

The man who invented the teleprompter has died at the age of 91. When President Obama heard the news, he was speechless.
