Death of a pitchman

Lynn Hauldren has died. You probably don't know the name, but people all over the planet, apparently, would stop him on the street and sing the Empire Carpet jingle to him. He wrote the jingle. He was also the pitchman for the company.

Love the Empire carpet commercials. As much a part of Chicago as the hot dog and the Cubs.
