ASHLAND, OH - It's a difficult week in the WMFD Newsroom and in the greater Ashland community as friends and colleagues remember Larry Stine, a longtime anchor for Mid-State Multimedia who passed away unexpectedly on Saturday morning at the age of 67. Larry Stine had a long list of accomplishments and an even longer list of friends, who would often greet him warmly when they saw him out and about, usually hailing him by his nicknames, "Stiney" or "Stymie." Several of his friends and colleagues took the opportunity to speak with WMFD reporters on Monday morning to talk about who Larry Stine was and what he meant to the Ashland community and beyond.
