Dear world, I knew the fellow killed in this mishap. We worked together in Mississauga Ont back in the early '90's. He was a prince of a gentleman and a gem of a human being. Rarely has a kinder or gentler soul existed in this world. He is now playing his beloved drums in heaven and putting smiles on all the faces there, just as he did here on earth. Please everyone, think safety always and never think that it can't happen to you, because it can. We will never forget you Lolly RIP, go Everton !
