Longtime Maryland Public Television journalist Lou Davis has passed away.
Davis, a fixture at the Maryland General Assembly legislative sessions, was also a former reporter for ABC2 News.
Anchor Jamie Costello recalled him as a “tremendous husband, father and friend.”
“His work is in libraries and colleges. And to those who were honored to work with him, we will remember what he taught us. We loved the man,” Costello said.
Maryland journalists and politicos took to social media Tuesday to share their memories.
