Grew up watching WJZ. So many have retired or passed on. Now Bob Turk is retiring. Now all that’s left from my childhood is Denise Koch and Marty Bass.

I grew up watching Bob - he's been on WJZ since before I was born! Even though I've lived far away for years, I still watch him do the weather just for the heck of it. Sad to see you go but wishing you a happy retirement!!!
