    This past weekend, 60 Minutes producer Howard L. Rosenberg died after a short but fierce battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

    A longtime investigative reporter, Howard produced his first story for 60 Minutes in 1992. He is fondly remembered by his colleagues for his exuberance and love of life as well as for the ever-increasing number of credentials jangling around his neck and the number of devices buzzing from his many pockets.

    "Howard was one of one. An original. He always wore his press credentials, which was funny because everyone knew him. Doors flew open when you were with Howard in Washington...or slammed if the person was up to no good," 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi said. "He was a great investigator, exceptional producer, and an even better friend."
