Longtime political and environmental activist Mike Pretl suffered a massive heart attack on Saturday morning and was flown to the University of Maryland Hospital after his conditioned weakened over the weekend.
He died this week when efforts to revive him failed.
For Delmarva Public Radio listeners he was a strong progressive voice on our Friday morning talk show Delmarva Today and a big supporter of the station.
He was active in the environmental community with his involvement in the Wicomico Environmental Trust and active among local Democrats including the Democratic Club of Wicomico County.
Pretl also taught environmental law at Salisbury University.
He will be missed.
