On Sunday morning’s edition of the network’s morning show, a montage of Reichmuth’s best and favorite moments on air was shared.

During his farewell message, Rick Reichmuth noted that he’ll spend more time working and focusing on his “Weatherman” brand, which features apparel like umbrellas, ponchos, backpacks, and hats, among other things. He added that the company has donated more than half a million dollars to the Folds of Honor charity since its inception.

“I was in banking until I was 30, and this was a second career for me, because I, as a kid, always wanted to be a meteorologist,” said Reichmuth. “It was my childhood dream. And I’ve done this. And then you grow older, and you have some new experiences, and you learn new things, and I started a business … and I have learned so much, and I’m loving it … I built a business, and I have employees and investors, and I have responsibilities with it that are important and matter.”

Several of his current and former colleagues shared well-wishes on social media to Reichmuth during his final day at Fox News.

Rick Reichmuth is a member of the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association.
