| Really sad to hear this....RIP Dave. I thought he had kicked the big "C".  I know Razer will take this pretty hard.
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 |

Through it all, Dave Strader showed a lot more courage and grace than I think most of us would have. Those of us who watched and listened to this great broadcaster only wish that he had received the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award much earlier than in the final year of his life.
Godspeed, Dave. We'll miss you. |
