Former Valley Central weatherman Larry James Eunice has died, the television station announced on its website Friday.
James, a beloved weatherman who forecasted the weather in the Rio Grande Valley for decades, moved to South Texas in the late 1960s and worked for the station when it was first known as KGBT.
Patricia Guillermo Williams, a former news anchor for KGBT who worked with James and grew up watching him on television, posted on her Facebook page that she was saddened by the news of James’ death.
“Larry was always mentoring us and we always listened intently,” she wrote.
“While I was fighting cancer, Larry would message me via Facebook and lift my spirits all the while he was going through some tough medical situations. He was there despite being weak himself always encouraging me and telling me to remain positive.
“He was a true professional and a true friend. Rest In Peace Larry and may God comfort and bless Nan, their daughters and the entire family.”
