Originally from South Africa, Uys was a lifelong broadcast engineer who earned a solid reputation in the U.S., Europe, and South Africa. After arriving in the U.S., he became a chief engineer at Soljay Productions, an outside-broadcast company, and then president of Location Solutions, a mobile-production and rental company that he founded. He then crossed over into broadcast sales with senior roles at Telecast Fiber Systems and then Joseph Electronics, where he spent more than eight years.

“Gideon was one of the smartest people I’ve ever known,” said Yohay Hahamy, president of JFS parent company Joseph Electronics. “His knowledge of broadcast systems and his easygoing nature helped him to make friends out of customers everywhere he went. He had a huge heart, and we will all miss him.”
