Veteran broadcaster Larry Solway died this morning, at Toronto General Hospital, of complications from bladder cancer. He was 83.
During the 1960s, Solway hosted a popular phone-in talk radio program on 1050 CHUM, Toronto called Speak Your Mind.
Solway was known nationally as a panelist of the CBC Television programme This Is the Law in the early 1970s. He returned to the radio talk show circuit later that decade with Talkback on Brampton, Ontario station CHIC. He was seen in minor roles in films such as Meatballs and The Brood.
Solway was a candidate for the Ontario New Democratic Party in the 1999 Ontario general election but was unsuccessful in his campaign in the Toronto St. Paul's riding.
At the age of 80 Solway wrote a book 'Don't be Blindsided by Retirement' about how to adjust to retirement.
