Sad day. So many great times from my teenage years and twenties that had Tragically Hip music playing.
RIP Gord.
Courage.
Courage.
Gord walked through his life in shoes which are impossible to be filled by a similar unique personality.
A true Canadian icon - sorrily missed.
His music will live forever. RIP.

I think it was during or just before our vacation in Ontario last summer that Gord's diagnosis was announced - my timing could be off. I recall the local radio stations playing TH music like crazy. I also recall thinking that I liked a good amount of what I heard, despite my preferences leaning towards heavier stuff. It was only later that I learned that band's and Gord's impact on a generation (or two) of Canadians. RIP to him, and condolences to his family, friends and fans.

I still have 3-4 of his works in my quiver. The man behind the legendary Sims Burner's that Mark Fawcett rode.

Crap. Roy Halladay was a much-loved legend in Toronto, and an eight-time all star. RIP.
So sorry to see this. As a lifelong Yankee fan, I watched him do a lot of damage to my team. A very talented man taken way too young. RIP

Everyone he pitched against can say that
RIP Roy Holladay! Very tragic passing, way too young. ☹
Patricia Green, winemaker, 62, of undetermined cause.
I'm sure many forum members have met Patty at her Willamette Valley winery, and many more have appreciated her wine. A big loss for the wine loving community.

Seemed like a really good person. Very sad day for Jays fans.
One of the best Jays games I attended was in 2009 when A.J. Burnett came back to TO in yankee pinstripes and he squared off against Doc. The atmosphere in the dome was like a playoff game. While Burnett was good, Doc put on a clinic and beat the yankees 5-1.
Really sorry to hear of his accident. One of the best pitchers I'ver seen. Even when the jays sucked, if Doc was on the mound, I was going to the game.

Burnett was rarely good as a Yankee.
My best memory of Doc is seeing him throw a 10 inning complete game shutout. Things that would never ever happen anymore.
The guy was an absolute stud and a workhorse and as great a pitcher he was, he was an even better person by all reports. This one hurts big time.

Thx for sharing TWC! Both the memories and your player. He was a stud in Philly as well!

Patricia Green. My sympathy to her family and to Jim Anderson, her business partner. I really liked her wines.
One of our drivers, his fiancee and 3 children in a car crash on a narrow 2 lane highway in N. KY. The other driver crossed the middle line. Tragic situation when all 5 people are killed. I can only imagine the speed of the vehicles for this to happen. RIP Rodney.

So sorry to see this, IW. I have a close friend whose niece and her parents died that way when a drunk driver crossed into their lane. I can only imagine the sadness.
Man this thread is a bummer to check. But I keep checking nonetheless. Sorry to hear that IW. Life is so precious and fleeting.

Loved his Higgins character. He was the perfect fussy foil to Magnum's irreverence.
