Michael whelan has died

[Birf]

I kind of forgot about him because he retired in 08, didn't know it was that long. Something about his demeanor I really liked.

I remember Michael Whalen. He was a pro. RIP.

I think some of the biographic details in the obituary may be inaccurate, perhaps mixing information about someone else with the same name.

I had a classmate named Michael Whalen in grades 4-6, (1969-72), in the West Island of Montreal. He was a friend, but not quite a close friend. He looked like the TSN Michael Whalen would have looked in elementary school, with a similar voice/ speech cadence. There's no chance that my schoolmate was the son of TSN's Michael, because the guy I knew was adopted. He was always Michael; neither he nor anyone I knew ever called him Mike.

I have to admit that I had forgotten about until now but seeing the picture I remember him well.

He was a pleasure to watch.

Same. Fuck it sucks to get old. I'm reminded more-so every year.
