I was saddened to hear of his tragic passing. I have the fondest of memories for him. He was my favorite player with the Hawks when I was a young boy just gaining an interest in the sport. My sympathies to his family for their loss.
HELLO THERE!!!!!

He was one of my favorite players in the 70′s when I grew up in Canada.
Somewhere I have his hockey card,now worth much more.
