He played nets in hockey without a mask; he was one of the best jivers at the teen dances around Carlingwood; and he kept everyone in stitches with his hilarious impersonations of famous (and some not so famous) people. When I last spoke to him after his retirement from Manulife, he was busy travelling, teaching and playing golf, and transporting and assisting seniors around the west end. He was a contributor; a great guy. I will miss him. My deepest sympathies to the Rich and Bull families.
