Remembering Those Who Passed in 2008
Published by Toronto Mike on December 26, 2008 @ 10:54 in Family, Friday Fives, Memories
We lost some cool cats in 2008. Here are the five most significant celebrity passings of 2008, in this guy's humble opinion.
- Jeff Healey
- George Carlin
- Paul Newman
- Isaac Hayes
- Heath Ledger
And since this is all about me, my family lost someone far too soon in 2008. Very early in the year, Uncle Bruce passed away quite suddenly. I know it's been a super tough year for my aunt and cousins without Big Bruce around.
When I was 19, I wanted a car. My budget for this purchase was about $500, and I called Uncle Bruce about it, because Uncle Bruce knew cars and I didn't. Uncle Bruce put me in touch with his friend who fixed up and sold used cars in Port Credit and I ended up buying a 1985 Ford Escort hatchback for $200.
It was my first car and I loved it. I remember driving it to Uncle Bruce's house in Mississauga so he could show me a thing or two about maintaining a car, especially a car worth $200. When he took her for a spin and blessed the purchase, I trusted him. He was caring, honest and would tell it like it is.
Uncle Bruce is missed.
