Sad day. So many great times from my teenage years and twenties that had Tragically Hip music playing.

RIP Gord.

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.

Chris Prior

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

Robert Guillaume.

Robert Guillaume, great actor and a classy guy

Crap. Roy Halladay was a much-loved legend in Toronto, and an eight-time all star. RIP.
