guy who supported BBI and the giants in many ways. His birthday is a good day to memorialize him and others who have passed on who we only came to know because of BBI.

what a great job you did Eric and it’s importance reverberates throughout the years.

RIP John, BBI as so many others will always remember you.

I have another dear friend born on the same day who doesn't look anywhere like his age either.

Must be something special about July 3rd (either 1938 or 37, not sure).

He is missed Â

Ah Geez... right. I remembered his first name but not his last. For sure he was a super nice guy. And man.... what a life he lived. RIP Montreal Man...

Happy Birthday Montreal Man! Â

Always enjoyed his posts! He also suffered a family tragedy when his son, Mario, was killed in an automobile accident! We had a few conversations since my son and Mario played a lot of Hockey!

Fantastic person. Â
