yes I remember hearing that name all the time, he seemed to be involved with most concerts coming to the Forum or the various venues around Montreal posters everywhere radio ads too i dont remember if there was tv ads but im sure there was. he did a lot for promoting the local montreal bands to.back when radio stations had colorful dj s and all were trying for market share 82 does not seem old to me now but it seems a respectable age but as always family and freinds are the ones who feel the loss most.and 82 may not have been enough for them
