Al Grossman was a great friend. One time he caught me smoking a joint with his nephew Sandy in the basement. Sandy split quickly and AL lit into me about it. He was giving me proper shit and I finally mumbled what about sandy/. fuck him Al said he's a relative but you You are a friend.

Franz W. Russell: 1937-2008 'You can't top the Coppertop'
Posted: June 11, 2008 - 11:30pm |
Franz and I became friends when we both lived in Uxbridge. About once a month we would take an afternoon off to play gin rummy and drink beer. We remained good friends and I talked to him just a few weeks before his death.

I lived one of those lives where I got to meet a lot of notable people. For the most part I was the unofficial host in Toronto in the seventies and early eighties and shared some kind of experience with all of them.
It is fun at this stage of my life to compile a list of who I met and what we did. Nothing explains the vagaries of life more than to reflect on how Notable some where then and you have to explain who they were now. – Gary
