Dennis Richmond (born in 1943), the iron man of Bay Area anchors, bid an emotional farewell to his many viewers Wednesday night, ending an illustrious 40-year career that saw him rise from office clerk to local icon.
“You’ve invited me into your home for so many years that I feel like I’m part of your family and leaving that family is not the easiest thing to do,” Richmond told the Channel 2 audience.
“I’m stuck,” Richmond says. “News is my life, and it always will be, even when I retire. I may even call the station from time to time and ask them, ‘What the hell are you people doing?’ ”
“I will truly miss speaking to you twice a day, Monday through Friday, from this set,” he said. ” … It’s been truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that happily for me lasted 40 years. For the last time, it’s with great joy and great sadness that I say good night and good-bye.”
