It's a little late, but I received a phone call yesterday from Roy Lavalley advising me of the passing on March 24th of Burt Decaire, who got his start as a high schooler at CJAT in Trail back in the 60s, subsequently worked there as an announcer full-time and later became the sports director at CKEK in Cranbrook. He was one of those guys who never worked in a major market but certainly made his mark where he was.
