Who knew he was 84? I would have guessed 64.

He was 84.[/p] He was also formerly the restaurant critic for the Vancouver Sun. The family isn't releasing the cause of death yet.

I don't think I'd have put him at 84 either Lil Me.
Sad as it is....how nice to have led a life that leaves something behind.

No offence to the dead, but that dude always pissed me off. I hated his style of speaking -- always sounded like he was having a seizure FFS. I mean, yeah it's soup or mushrooms. Deal with it.

lol Mariachi.
Personally, I find his voice soothing. James Barber and Rafe Mair were the background sounds of my childhood.

I feel guilty now, having looked at his website. Actually he always reminded me of Rafe Mair. They kind of look alike.
