It wasn’t long ago that we’d joke about how an appearance on Toronto Mike’d would help you live forever. FOTMs didn’t die. Then one did, it was Andrew Krystal, and then over the next few years we’d lose another and another, but this past couple of weeks has been awful.

First we lost David Marsden, then Sass Jordan, and now Larry Millson. Larry visited me twice, once solo to talk about his visits to Maple Leaf Stadium, his years at the Hamilton Spectator, Toronto Star, Toronto Telegram and Globe & Mail, and the many Blue Jays teams he covered, then he returned to join Bob Elliott and Dave Perkins so all three could regale me with Blue Jays tales of yesteryear.

Larry lived by Christie Pits, and he loved to photograph the Toronto Maple Leafs, so I’d even see him there and we’d chat about the current Jays. Larry was a gentle soul who covered more Blue Jays games than anyone else. So he had stories, and was more than happy to share them.

My condolences to all who knew and loved Larry Millson. They don’t make them like that anymore. Here’s an extended excerpt from his first appearance on Toronto Mike’d, recorded on April 3rd, 2023.

We just lost David Marsden, one of my all-time favourite Toronto Mike’d guests, and today I learned Sass Jordan has passed away all too soon at the young age of 65. Sass visited my home studio in February 2020, a mere month before the world changed, and she was absolutely wonderful.

There was an energy in the room I don’t think I’ve felt since. She was like a drug, and the listener feedback told me it wasn’t just me who was affected. Sass Jordan, like David Marsden and Gino Vannelli, is one of those guests referenced by people when they meet me for the first time. Sass was pure delight.

My sincere condolences to all who knew and loved Sass. wasn’t just a rock star with big Canadian hits like "Tell Somebody", "Double Trouble", "Make You a Believer" and "High Road Easy". She wasn’t just a judge on Canadian Idol, which put her in front of millions of Canadians. She was something very special.

Here’s edited version of episode 588 of Toronto Mike’d featuring almost 90 minutes of pure Sass.
