Dave Schwartz Battling Cancer
« on: February 05, 2016, 08:29:01 PM »
Dave announced on the air yesterday that he is currently battling stomach cancer.  He's already lost over 30 pounds and will soon lose his hair.

Dave is one of my favorite OCMs, and he'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

That's not good. I'll be praying for him also. He'll probably be doing chemo, that's why the loss of hair. :( I hate cancer!

Thanks for the video. Dave Schwartz is my favorite OCM. I just love his positivity and how he never looks at problems as a problem. It's been a while since I last saw Dave on WCL. I hope he'll make it!

He'll make it.

He beat pancreatic cancer.....TWICE!  That cancer has a very low, among the lowest survival rates of all cancers.

He will beat this.

I have always enjoyed his on-air presence - it goes back to about 1991, if I remember correctly.

Dave Schwartz is one of my many all-time favorite OCMs. If he has beaten cancer twice before, he'll beat this one as well. You the man Dave! Stay strong!  :salute:

i'm rooting for him to beat Cancer.

i'm surprise The Weather Channel didn't force him into a medical leave while he battles cancer.

Cancer's no laughing matter, recently, we lost a few good celebrities in a short amount of time to Cancer.

and this is gonna be The Weather Channel's version of a well know face battling the horrible disease.

last Year, Fox Sports lost truly the most well loved and beloved face of their NASCAR coverage when Steve Byrnes died 2 days after NASCAR dedicated the annual Spring day race at Bristol for the Cup series to him and his battle with cancer.

and not only that, within the last 2 years, ESPN lost Stuart Scott from cancer.

i hope Dave beats this and i hope he found the cancer while at an early stage of Cancer and not at stage four.

edit: replaced the word energy for early as i made a blunder with my fast typing.

According to Paul Goodloe and numerous other sources, Dave passed away today after his long and hard battle with cancer. Thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and co-workers in this difficult time.
