David DeCosmo Day in the City of Scranton - Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at 3:30PM EST

SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY- Someone we at Eyewitness News are proud to call both a friend and colleague was honored today. It was for his more than 30 years of service to our community.
David DeCosmo was a staple in the Lackawanna County community for WYOU News. Mayor Chris Doherty declared April 28th David DeCosmo day in the City of Scranton.

He's been a fixture in the community and on TV's throughout northeastern Pennsylvania since the 1970s. "It's important to remember David because he really served the people of Northeast PA, providing them the info about their government and the entities in Northeastern Pennsylvania, what was happening. He did an outstanding job for over 30 years. I'm proud to call him a friend and Scranton is proud to call him an adopted son," said Doherty.

DeCosmo was honored by Scranton and Lacakwanna County on Tuesday. More than 50 people came to honor the long-time reporter. "I'm humbled. These folks have been in the news, they've been subjects of interviews that I've done. But they become more than just aquaintences when you deal with them regularly. They do become friends. Not to the extent you slant anything. You still need to be fair - fair is still that key word. I think they've expressed that today and I was just so pleased to hear them use that term," said DeCosmo.

He was always fair, and he'll always be our friend.

David says the story he'll remember most was how our region dealt with the Agnes flood 37 years ago. At the time it was the largest natural disaster in U. S. history.
