Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish released the following statement on Feagler's passing:
Dick Feagler was a long-standing and well-loved journalist whose voice was a constant for decades here in Cleveland. But he wasn’t just a legendary local media figure – Dick Feagler gave us a look back at the past and interpreted the past for a look into the future. I was privileged to get to know him both professionally and personally; we appeared multiple times on each other’s TV programs. He was a thoughtful, warm, decent, and insightful man who encouraged and inspired Clevelanders for decades.
My heart goes out to his family and his friends during this difficult time.
