I believe teeds has passed away…

Found an old private message in which teeds admitted to beating terminal cancer back in early 2000s or late 90s. So wasn't necessarily a recent fight. Shit.
 
Thank you for the update Montana, and Teeds was definitely a unique individual. I really fucking hate Cancer. I have lost both parents to it and it's endless how it has affected friends as well.

So grateful that his pain is over and I know he'll be missed. RIP
 
Bruce Dern is pretty close to how I pictured Teeds. Maybe Harry Dean Stanton. In my mind he was always 70 with a cowboy hat.
 
I was surprised when I met him. I wasn't surprised when I spoke to him.


Obituary of Walter Winchester Crane​

Crane, Walter Winchester

June 19, 1957 - November 4, 2023​

Died in Grand River Hospital Freeport Campus Waterloo, Ontario on Saturday November 4, 2023, at age 66.

Survived by his son Adam Crane, wife Grace King, mother Linda Ashley-Crane, adoptive father David Crane. He was predeceased by his father Gualtiero Toscani.

Walter was born in Quebec City but shortly after, the family moved to Toronto. He attended Bedford Park and Davisville Public Schools before his parents moved to Ottawa. There he attended Hopewell Public School and Glebe Collegiate. When the family moved back to Toronto in 1974, he completed high school at Lawrence Park Collegiate and went on to attend Glendon College at York University.

Walter had a life-long interest in physical fitness and sports. He excelled at tennis and went on to obtain an Ontario and a Canadian ranking. In 1978, he and the number two player ‘brought home the gold’ at the Ontario University Athletic Association championships held in London Ontario that year. The event marked the first time in its history that the York tennis team was victorious.

Walter’s first job after university was as Assistant Squash and Tennis Pro at the Granite Club in Toronto. After a few years he made a change and went on to enjoy a long career in the investment business.

Special thanks to the caring staff at Freeport and to friend and neighbour Pat Welsh. Special thanks also to Adam’s wonderfully supportive friends.

A Celebration of Walter’s Life will take place in the Fireside Reception Room of the Erb and Good Family Funeral Home, 171 King Street S. Waterloo on Sunday, November 19 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. Cremation will have taken place.
 
It would be nice to communicate to his son somehow that he’s being remembered & memorialized by a few dozen hockey fans he used to banter with over the years…..so long as he’s never ever ever, shown this thread and our dark senses of humour.
