I get regular emails from a music store in Sebringville, Ontario. They carried a few of my CDS back in the 90s. Judy and Neil Matheson own and run the store.

I received this tonight.

Sad to report that fourteen years with our faithful greeter & true 'Buddy' have come to an end.

Buddy passed away Halloween evening after a 15 year dogs-life of many two-legged & four-legged friends, a loving family including three little girls who he watched grow into three lovely women & a great big yard in the country to romp around in & enjoy.

Buddy loved everyone & it seemed mutual. {Although he wasn't particularly fond of lawyers for some reason}. He spent his entire life in a sea of great music, never forgot a single customer or delivery person who might have a treat in store for him & knew where every dog biscuit location in downtown Stratford awaited his arrival.

This may be a longer obituary than Neil will get but, then again, Buddy was a lot easier to love. Right??

Bye bye Buddy old pal . . .
