Sad news this morning, Rick Briden has passed away after a long illness.
I will post details as I get them.

Rick was one of those guys who was always there for you and always made you feel safe.
He was a big man with a big heart always willing to help, and he will be dearly missed by his sons, Aaron, Evan and Eric and daughter Melisa, his grandchildren and all his friends and family
Rick and I worked together as partners for a long time at 53 and those were some of the best days I ever had as a police officer.
Playing defence together on the 53 North Stars and terrorizing the league with our long reach and some say, physical presence was always fun, and Rick always gave 100 per cent to this and anything he did.
He was a tower of strength mixed with a caring and soft heart.
He will be missed

Rest easy my friend
Jamie

Dimitri KOWBASSA - Update

Mike MOORE & I spoke to Dimitri, on Tuesday 11th June, via telephone.

It had been our hope to drop by & visit him at the Kirkland Lake Hospital, while enroute to Fort Frances for fishing.

Dimitri advised that he had been sent straight home from Sudbury General.

He advised that he was not really feeling well enough for visitors.

He was in good spirits, but did acknowledge that he was in rough shape & probably only had over a month left.

We had some laughs during the conversation.

I have his home number, if you wish to give him a call.

Just private message me for the info, if you require it.
