Yes, Red is still with us. He has been in poor health recently, however. Was hospitalized for quite some time but have heard that he is back home.
Had the pleasure of a two-hour chat with him a few years ago. Well, it was a sort of one-sided conversation. He's a great interview subject, just wind him up and let him go. Loved his characterization of Clarence Campbell. Unfortunately it cannot be repeated here without using alternate symbols.
800 of his closest friends turned out in early May for a fund-raising luncheon in his honour. The affair was MCed by Dick Irvin. Among the folks taking a turn at the mic were ex-NHL ref Wally Harris, Robin Burns, one of the funniest guys ever to play the game and now head man at ITECH, and kid brother George Storey.
A wonderful time was had by all. Even the food was good, amost as good as the company.
