“PITTSBURGH (AP) — Robert Sprague, a former television and radio news reporter in Pittsburgh, has died at his home. Briana Sprague says her father died Saturday of natural causes at his Pittsburgh home.”

“Sprague was born in Bellefonte and grew up in State College before moving to Pittsburgh in 1969.

After working for KDKA-TV, the station's CBS affiliate, he went to work for KQV, and AM news radio station for nearly 25 years.

Sprague's daughter says he was a gifted storyteller even at home, reading Christmas stories and children's classics. He was also involved in various civic theater groups and choirs.

Sprague has been cremated and interred in a family cemetery in Osage, Iowa. A September memorial service is planned.”
