He was such a fan of Sandra’s, being from Saskatchewan and all, and I remember he started to cry at the news of her passing and Dutchy’s tribute, something I never saw him do before. Just 13 days later, my father would succumb to his illness as well. RIP, Darren. You were a beauty.

He looked good, though it was obvious the cancer hadn't been eradicated totally. He & his wife were lovely people, & my thoughts and prayers are there for his family & friends.

And that was to interview our role model or someone we adnire in the field. Meeting her was beyond dreams for me, 17, away from home and just starting college. I bring this up because in this tribute, it certainly appears me that this man was clearly the person that my idol admires and respects in the industry. Thats a pretty cool and rare moment to see and gain appreciation for what came before them, and to see who inspired them.
