TheRolyPoly 2053 Posted October 21, 2024 Share Posted October 21, 2024 A big loss in Michiana television and one I was stunned to learn of today.

I've been watching this man since my elementary school days (I'm in my mid-40s). Until recent years, Eric and André Trevigne (later Sally-Ann Roberts) were THE morning news. His interviews were golden and even though he was from St. Louis, you wouldn't know it for you'd have thought he was a native. He embraced the city and the city embraced him. He's definitely up there with the likes of Alec Gifford, Ron Hunter, Angela Hill and Garland Robinette. He will definitely be missed. Expect a ton of tributes from former colleagues and other nearby TV stations in the coming days.
