Sad news.  He was one of those people I could immediately hear and picture when I read the subject headline.  


Madness takes its toll.  Please have exact change.

Extremely popular up here.    If a public funeral it will be huge (and expensive).

Nice tribute in the Barrie Examiner, including a touching personal message from former VR newscaster Kevin Frankish, who apparently conducted a last interview with the veteran broadcaster just a day before he passed away.

Re: Bob McIntyre CKVR RIP

Bob was my newsman for awhile at CKFH; shortly after I arrived in Toronto.  He was a real gentleman.

R.I.P.
