DETROIT – The Detroit News posted a touching tribute to WDIV veteran reporter Roger Weber, who will be, as he says, putting down the microphone and picking up a seven iron this week.
After 37 years at WDIV, Weber will be retiring this week, with his last day coming on June 26.

In the Detroit News feature, written by Susan Whitall, Roger is described to be "as cool as a tall glass of ice water."
Here is an excerpt from the article:
"As a reporter, Weber is the quintessential generalist. He loves telling stories, thrives on variety and never throws a fit over an assignment. He's reported on Lenten fish fries, child murders, the statues of Detroit, and a fellow who writes 20 postcards a day."
"He's heard a lot of crazy stuff from viewers over 37 years at WDIV, covering stories including the crash of Flight 255, the Kevorkian trial and the city of Detroit's meltdown, in a career he is winding up Friday."
