Before moving from covering #curling to being a retiree I had an opportunity to interview @TSNVicRauter. The Q&A is a timely read now that Vic is retiring as TSN's voice of curling. Sad to see him go but lucky to call him a friend. leaderpost.com/business/raut…

So sad to hear of Colleen Jones passing on Tuesday. She was a great curler and even better person. I was honoured and privileged to cross paths with Colleen at many curling events. What a woman who will be missed. Condolences to Colleen's family, teammates and friends.

What a touching and memorable celebration of Pete Paczko's life on Thursday in Regina. It was awesome to hear how appreciated he was for all of his contributions to Regina. RIP Pete.#fuckcancer.

So sad about the passing of Jim Hopson on Tuesday after a hard-fought battle with cancer. I became good friends with Jim and his wife Brenda through my years on the #Riders beat. My deepest condolences to Brenda, Jim’s family and his many friends. RIP in Jim.

Al Hackner (left), Mike McCarville of Northern Ont. visited Woodsy’s corner during the #24brier at the Brandt Centre @WoodsyCJME worked in Thunder Bay on his way to being a broadcasting legend in Regina. We’ve heard countless stories of Woodsy and Al over the years. #curling.

One of my all-time favourite photographs with the legend Sam Richardson and the #Brier tankard in Saskatoon. Thinking of Sam and my good buddy ⁦@WoodsyCJME⁩ this year. #24brier. #curlingrocks.

The perk of being retired is taking in a morning draw at the #24brier with my fellow retirees. Pretty cool atmosphere, but still too early for the #Brierpatch. #curlingrocks.

So sad to hear of the passing of Regina media legend John Lynch. He was one of kind and he will be missed. A few years back I spent some time with John at his Regina condo. This was the story that followed that interview. leaderpost.com/life/queen-ci… RIP John. – at Regina, Saskatchewan

What a day! You’ve made my last day at the #leaderpost so memorable. I’m overwhelmed by the kind words, thoughts and sentiments. A whole new life starts Saturday and I can’t wait to find out what’s in store for me. Thanks to all of you.
