Beloved, long-time Weather Channel OCM Dave Schwartz passed away on Saturday, July 30th. His death marked the end of a long battle with cancer. Dave was without a doubt my favorite OCM.He joined The Weather Channel in 1985, working in the Forecast Center and the radio forecasting department. He started appearing on the network in 1990, as a member of the apprentice program. He went full time the following year.
Prior to joining The Weather Channel, Dave was a social worker at the Fulton County Health Department. He was also an English tutor for Russian immigrants.
Dave was born in Philadelphia and was a weather fanatic from the beginning. His favorite weather topics included Nor'easters and hurricanes. Dave's non-weather interests included physical fitness, dancing, singing, art, and creating his own greeting cards.
Dave's informative, easy-going, and entertaining style made him one of the best, my friend! To honor his memory, I present a handful of video clips showcasing his knowledge and personality.
