At the White Spot, on Georgia. Red and Carole Robinson and Gord Lansdell, Phil Mackesy and Jim Morrison produced a touching "Latremouille tribute", to an overflow crowd.
Bill Reiter, Doc Harris and the legendary Myles Ramsey, brought down the house with anecdotes, about our late friend.
I can't compete with that kind of wit (*hilarious) - so I just basically said "I loved him - and I miss him, and I always will". He was the wind in my career sails, and I am still coming to terms with having to say goodbye to my bud.
Wayne Cox read a letter from Catherine. He also had a slew of funny stories.
I am very proud of Wayne Cox and Joanne Sutton, who dropped everything, to help Catherine. (These are the kind of people, I spent so many joy filled days with - am I blessed? Man.)
Fred had me fooled. I am not on Facebook - and I didn't know how bad things were getting. I didn't get to say goodbye. I have to live with it.
Dale Buote (KISS-FM's PD and my favourite all time boss), Paul Baruzzi, Fred and Cathy's Producer, were there. It was something else.
Seeing Bruce Bissell, Frank Gigliotti, Michel Godin, John Tanner, Jim Morrison, Wayne Cox, Don Schaefer, Joanna Mileos, Randy Taylor (healthy, thank GOD), Shana Selwyn, Joy Metcalfe, Vicki Gabareau and so many more, was a tonic for my soul.
I worked with the greatest people in the world.
Fred would have been pleased. A lot of LOVE and laughter.
I hope YOU met Fred, or worked with him.
He is, so far, my life's most "unforgettable figure".
He was a genius.
Goodbye, Freddie Bruce.
