Friday will be a sad day around the WKYC Digital Broadcast Center as longtime photojournalist, Larry Baker, caps his lens for the final time as a Channel 3 employee and heads into retirement.

Like most videographers, you see their work everyday but rarely see them on camera or know anything about them. However, everyone in Akron seemed to know Larry Baker. Larry is the last our full-time crews assigned to Akron who will be greatly missed.

Beacon Journal columnist Bob Dyer did an excellent article on Larry Thursday that truly captures the story of Larry's career better than I ever could.
