Long time Pittsburgh newsman Adam Lynch died earlier this week at the age of 89.
I suppose that every large city has people like Adam Lynch, men or women who are just so ingrained in the community that it felt as if they were a part of the family. The obit for Lynch said that he began his on-air career in the Pittsburgh area at radio station WEDO in 1951, the year that I was born! He went on to work at all three Pittsburgh television stations, KDKA, WTAE, and WIIC (now WPXI), and was the lead news anchor at both channels 4 and 11. He retired in 1993. I would have never guessed that he had been off the air for twenty-five years.
RIP Adam Lynch.
