TUSCOLA -- People paid tribute to a former WCIA-3 meteorologist Sunday by channeling one of his deepest passions. We're talking about zombies.

Organizers hosted a "Zombie Walk" in honor of Robert Reese. As many of you know, he loved them. The walk started and finished at the Douglas County Museum.

Besides the creepy parade, the event featured a costume contest, flash mob and silent auction. All the money raised goes to Robert's family. WCIA-3's own Megan Brilley was there as well, helping out as a judge for the costume contest. Some of the items up for auction included ties Robert used to wear on air.
