Although Mother Nature may not be providing the most worthy goodbye (she always was a fickle lover), one of her biggest crushes, Dave Devall, is retiring today. After forty-eight years as weatherman at CTV Toronto, our favourite local TV grandpa is packing up the plexiglass and felt pen. And other than deciding to audition with two thousand others for the fledgling Toronto station decades ago, it may be the best choice he has made. Since he announced his retirement on February 2, he has had a street in Scarborough named after him, been recognized as the world record holder for longest tenure as a weather man, awarded the Radio-Television News Directors' Association of Canada’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and named an Honorary Colonel of the Canadian Forces.
