Egil was always fun to work with, he was a hard worker. We will miss him.
Was always a pleasure to work with. Always had a smile on his face and made everyone laugh. Many good memories.
Eggie was a visual artist and a great partner.He will be missed.
Eggie put the news in news and brightened the day when circumstances were challenging. His presence is gone but his spirit will always live.
I worked with many crew guys at five different TV outlets in NYC and Eg was by far the most unique and funny guy who ever picked up an Ikegami. I am saddened to hear of his passing.
