Default Gord Downie Dies at 53 RIP

A real Canadian Treasure and I am a big fan of The Tragically Hip. Lead singer Gord Downie salutes fans in this photo last year. He will be missed. RIP my Friend.

He is my favorite person, who I have never met!! (my attempt at Gord Downie-esque lyric)

I love The Hip, always have always will.

You can tell by his eyes he is an "SNG".

Tough loss EH.

PS: My Brother and friend attended the Music at Work concert on my 30th Birthday, 15 years ago yesterday:-) They came out, hit the first note, every single attendee stood up and no one in the place sat down until we got in the car to go home.

I respect Gord more for what he did the last year of his life than his great music.Not often that a person is diagnosed with a terminal illness and decides to spend his final days helping others.RIP Gord.
