Hal Weaver had a smile in his voice.

The affable Weaver was a friendly presence in Canadian Top 40 radio during the '60s and '70s. He started at CKRD Red Deer, Alberta, before moving to CJCA Edmonton in 1964. The next year he moved east to CHLO St. Thomas, Ontario and by 1967 was holding down afternoon drive at CKOC Hamilton. In 1968, he became one of the first hires of newly-installed CHUM program director J. Robert Wood.

Weaver was at CHUM for two years in swing and weekends before moving to CKVN Vancouver in 1970. That proved to be his last radio stop, as he died of cancer on New Year's Eve 1971 in Surrey, B.C.
